    I’ve been listening to the show for a few years, and I really appreciate that the guests are scholars who are experts in writer recovery. I can listen to the discussion for my own interest and feel comfortable bringing the information into my college classroom. I also think that Amy and Kim are fantastic hosts. I really enjoy this podcast!

  • Love the Lost Ladies of Lit

    Such a great podcast showcasing so many wonderful writers that have been unfairly lost in time. Only downside is that the to-be-read pile keeps getting bigger and bigger.
