Whether writing is a hobby, a job, or the thing that gives you life, this is the writing podcast you can’t miss.
Best Pod that I’ve downloaded All Week!
I downloaded two podcasts last week and this was by far the better of the two! I’ve listened to Bryan’s previous podcast “Life Stocks” and to this day I still use some of the things talked about on it. Now, as an aspiring author, I’m expecting similar results from this podcast. Look forward to many more episodes! Maybe when my book I’ll come back and update this review with all the ways this pod helped me along the way.
