It’s unfortunate that I discovered this so late. Michael A Stackpole has been a longtime favorite author of mine, having written Star Wars and Battletech books I’ve enjoyed since I was a teen.
I’ve always wanted to write, so learning from one of the authors I enjoyed reading so much is wonderful. And I’ve learned a lot from listening.
Mr. Stackpole has great tips and exercises. And it may seem silly to mention it, but he also has a speaking voice that’s easy to listen to. He doesn’t make a lot of weird mouth noises like smacks and pops, and he tends to keep his volume even throughout the show. That’s important to me, as silly as it sounds, but it’s a mark of a quality podcast.
I wish the Secrets podcast was still ongoing, as I enjoy them as education and entertainment, but I understand that he’s a busy man and he has a career.
Thank you Mr. Stackpole.
