scribblepost ,

all the best debuts!

this has become one of my go-to literary podcasts! always interesting new authors and a chill, lowkey vibe, no pretensions. i get the feeling adam’s discovering new things along with the listener, like it’s an organic conversation, not overly rehearsed or static

Fun natural convos

It’s always fun to see where these chats go. It’s so natural and even awkward at times. I love that it feels real and not scripted!

New Favorite Book Pod

I have been loving how this podcast highlights debut authors. There are so many great questions about how the authors came to be published. AND SO MANY craft questions. 🤩
