    Podcast is great, almost always get useful or interesting content. I recommend you lose the blaring horn announcing Craft Corner - it plays at much higher volume than the rest of the broadcast and is super annoying! Otherwise keep up the nice work!

  • This podcast rocks on a regular basis because of its literary news section and the A list authors that are interviewed.

  • Hooked!

    First of all….red sneakers! Hooked! Who doesn’t love red sneakers?!! That grabbed my attention and then three episodes back to back ( and yard and housework done!)……….. I was addicted. I love hearing the guests share their writing tips and it’s exciting to hear about their latest books and learn about their writing process. And the host does a great job of interviewing. I really look forward to housework now! 😊 Thank you for a wonderful podcast.
