I just discovered this podcast and have raced through several of their interviews with some of my favourite writers. Very binge-worthy!
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!
