    Love this podcast!
    I’m not a writer, but I do love books. I’m a scientist and academic and get so much out of hearing about the writing and creating process. The hosts are brilliant women who do great interviews. Love it.

    One of the better podcasts I’ve listened to
    I just listened to Episodes 1 & 2 and enjoyed every minute. The hosts have a great rapport, and the interviewer has a fun, relaxed, and intelligent style. Excellent!
