Samia is such a gentle and insightful interviewer who manages to get right to the heart of what writing and literature are about-our shared humanity. Such a welcome relief from more strident voices on radio and such respect for the authors she interviews.
I’m addicted and in awe of the breadth and depth of discussion in the podcast. So much to think about in each episode and Samia is the most generous and perfect host. Highly recommend this for readers and writers. So much valuable content. Thank you Samia!!
