Easily the best podcast out there about writing. Their backlog of episodes is amazing. The hosts are super likable and pull some great conversation out of their guests. I listen to a number of writing podcasts, but this one clears all of them. This show is wildly underrated. I almost never see it recommended, but I am recommending it to you right now!

Thanks to them, I continue to expand my skills and my TBR; moreover, as an American, I appreciate their insights into UK fiction. Bravo!
