  • Simply the best

    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!

  • Very Interesting Guests!

    I discovered this podcast by accident, and I keep listening because every guest is fascinating. I especially enjoyed the interview with a somewhat reluctant David Mamet. Amazingly talented and productive considering says he is uneducated.

  • An Essential Podcast

    An avid reader and writer across genres, I never miss an episode of this essential pod. The hosts are not only well-read and well-prepared, but they’re also immensely likable. Thanks to them, I continue to expand my skills and my TBR; moreover, as an American, I appreciate their insights into UK fiction. Bravo!

  • Great podcast

    The hosts do a wonderful job of staying in the background and letting their guests shine, instead of dominating the conversation. Their questions are thought-provoking and perfectly on point.
