Love these interviews!

It’s always fascinating when Martin Lastrapes talks about his own writing/publishing process, but I also love his interviews with people who are knowledgeable in the writing, editing, and publishing world. I’ve been in the trenches of this pasttime for decades, but I always learn something new. Keep ‘em coming, Martin.

Nice and mellow about topics I like!

I nice, mellow podcast that keeps its own pace. No hurry. No fuss. I sit back and relax to conversations about topics I like: comics, vampires, horror, and wherever else the trail goes. This is more of a journey podcast than a destination podcast, and it’s great for long commutes in traffic.
