Customer Reviews
Down to earth yet inspiring
I love Nina LaCour’s podcast. The episodes are perfect lengths, because they are very dense with thought provoking and interesting material for writers. Nina takes a very human, down to earth approach to advice/ sharing her own experiences, while also acknowledging the artistic, hard to pin down nature of an art like writing. I love how the pockets of time I spend listening to these episodes leaves me feeling, so I’m looking forward to the rest of season 2 and beyond :).
Book & Workshop Ad
I was disappointed about the amount of ad on this podcast. A writer must live - okay. But starting a podcast for that? I hear a lot of educational podcasts. Love them. A lot of writers podcasts. Love them. This one may be for a special audience I’m not part of. Sorry.
