Great podcasts for authors

I recommend this podcast for authors and readers because Dianne really dives into the content of the books as well as the author journey. You can listen and get to know the author and also hear the story behind the story. She is always well prepared for each interview and such a great listener. You can tell she’s passionate about books and helping authors. Whether you are just getting started on your author journey or you’ve written tons of books, this is a great place for authors to land. If you’re looking for a variety of genres to choose from for the next book to read, you can count on Dianne to provide such a variety. This is a great podcast!
