Customer Reviews
A podcast for writers!
Heard my first podcast in defense of the list tickle and loved the reporting, featured interviewees, and music interludes. I hope to see more content related to positioning one's writing, and grabbing people's limited attention with effective writing styles. Keep up the great work!
Great for students
I'm definitely thinking about having my first-year composition students listen to some of these podcasts. The one on citation lays out the rationale behind citing in a clear way, and that rationale is something that's important for writers to understand. I also liked the five-paragraph essay podcast. I'm really looking forward to what this group comes up with next!
Fun new communication podcast!
Really digging the podcast so far! I like how I learn something new about a facet of writing or communication that I've never thought about before. The episodes are just the right length, plus the interviewer keeps the pacing light, but informative. Looking forward to more.
