Great presenters, needs better audio/editing

Fantastic podcast on writing and the writing process, information is useful and inspiring. I’m working my way backward through the series. As others have mentioned, it would be a much better listening experience with improved sound and some basic editing (removing blank spaces and inaudible comments). I’d also appreciate if the presenters were more aware that podcast listeners don’t have access to the visuals, so if presenting something on the screen that’s needed for context, a quick summary would be helpful (for example, the episode on titles is largely PowerPoint dependent; a listener misses out on a lot of the actual content.) Despite that, I still think this is a 5-star podcast, enjoyable and educational. Keep up the good work!
Writing breakthroughs and sound has improved!

New episodes have much better sound quality now, and the talks are incredibly helpful for any writer at any point in their career. Helped me have some major breakthroughs.
Amazing content! Difficult to hear clearly.

The content share in this podcast is priceless. The speakers’ are expert in their field, but not professional speakers. They are not aware of the limitations of recording technology in place. For example, the speaker will be walking around the stage away from the microphone; resulting in volume fluctuation throughout the podcast. They also interact with the audience without microphones and answering questions without restating the question to be on record to begin with. Perhaps, recruit technology students for extra credit could be a solution ; D I hope this was useful feedback. Thanks again but sharing your knowledge!
Please improve the audio quality

The information is good, but it was so frustrating because audience questions were inaudible. I listened to the Sarah Saffian one on memoir.
