Customer Reviews
357 of these? Wow!
This year I am doing a self-titled writing project: “Butt in Chair.” I have committed at least one hour a day to planting myself in front of the computer to pick up a writing thread I set down when I had kids. As such, I am looking for good material to inform and inspire my pursuits, and a random search led me to #CNF. I’ve listened to about four or five of them so far, as I ride my stationary bike every morning, and each one has generated a long list of quotes, leads, authors, and juicy ideas that I record in my BIC sessions. So good! And there are 357 episodes in the library! Can’t wait to keep listening. Thank you Brendan!
Always a great listen!
I can always count on Brendan to make the CNF podcast interesting, informative, and entertaining. He asks terrific questions and keeps things real. As a writer myself, I’m constantly learning more about the craft from his guests. Thank you, Brendan!
I always enjoy this show!!
I really enjoy Brendan’s style of interview and conversation with his guests. The show has a wide variety of writers that all share the common thread of telling the story despite the different topics and backgrounds they write about. It’s definitely beneficial for anyone who enjoys writing.
