A wonderful resource and excellently curated and presented

Thank you for this podcast. As a first time biographer I find it to be a wonderful resource. It’s nice to just hit play and immediately be on conversations about the craft of biography and the life of a biographer, it makes doing this work feel communal. Wishing you continued success and many more years of this podcast.
