In Depth Writing Conversations

This podcast is a great writing resource and fun insight into the writing process. I've only listened to more recent episodes, but every one has included in depth analysis and relatable examples. I especially love it when the hosts interview authors about their books because you get insights into the writing process that you don't often see. The hosts make the guests feel welcome and comfortable, and each hosts brings their own different viewpoint to the podcast. A fun listen.

Fun and great for aspiring SFF writers

Really enjoy the dynamic among the hosts - inclusive, playful and thoughtful. Some great interviews with authors as well as craft of writing episodes.

Bwholeton ,

Too much banter before getting to the point

Literally 12-15 min of just back and forth banter before getting to the point of the podcast.
