Customer Reviews
So well put together
I actually love this podcast, I was so surprised by how polished, well researched and well thought out this was. This was better than a creative writing Masterclass. I’m not even a writer and I loved listening to this. Listen if you want to know more about story-craft.
Homestead On The Corner
Trevor Van Winkle is madly talented ...
The 10-story anthology entwined within his storytelling lessons in season one, and season two’s “The Sheridan Tapes” (a separate podcast), are amazing from what I’ve heard (and can’t wait to get back to - !!); his writing is as enjoyable as he is talented... and the stable of actors they used is absolutely stellar. I’ll anxiously wait to see what new podcast “Homestead...” has on the horizon.
Long Live the Audio Drama
The world needs more audio dramas. Full stop. I love the variety in the stories that get produced, and as a writer/artist I love the advice and ideas in the more regular podcast episodes. A must-listen for any creative person!
