Customer Reviews
The best interviewer!
I’ve had the pleasure of both being a guest on Cindy’s wonderful podcast and listening to many many episodes. Cindy is thorough and insightful and often asks unique questions about both story and process to truly engage the listener! I can hardly wait until the next episode is released!
Smart and sophisticated book talk
Cindy interviews are in depth and interesting, and she always brings a fresh perspective to the books she reviews. This is my favorite bookish podcast.
Great pod
So interesting to listen to and Cindy does such a great job asking questions and doing her research.
