Customer Reviews
My FAVOURITE podcast!
Just wow! I mean, the writers they bring on, the way the hosts get right to the heart of EVERYTHING they cover, and give such fresh takes on how writers and readers think — it's the BEST dose of indie literary stuff I could have asked for! I look forward to it every month, thank you Em and Shimshon and everyone at IWC!
