Really great podcast that has its finger firmly on the pulse of contemporary lit. I highly recommend checking it out!
The podcast I didn’t know I needed
I’m so glad I found this. Hands down my new favorite podcast. Thank you.
Crucial!
I need this podcast in my life — to help me think about writing when I can’t be doing it, and to inspire me when I am. Thank you! Two months feels like a long time to wait between episodes, but I’ll live if the terrific producers keep ‘me coming.
