  • Intelligent and interesting

    I've only listened to a few episodes so far, but reelly enjoyed them.

High recommended and I look forward to listening to more episodes. The one on reviewing was also interesting and both were useful in giving tips to new (or more experienced) writers.

    The information is good, but it was so frustrating because audience questions were inaudible. I listened to the Sarah Saffian one on memoir.

  • Not suitable for podcast

    The whole Titles podcast was meaningless because it relied on slides which were not read out loud. Would be good for programmers to listen once before publishing.
