“I follow only a very few podcasts. This one has moved up the list to my absolute favorite. It has given me a new urgency to spend more time reading. The only downside is that after every interview I have to order another book or two (or three). The queue is growing rapidly….”

“Doug Brunt asks great questions and shows that writers are great storytellers not only in print, but in interviews as well. Doug’s empathetic, direct, down-to-earth nature connects with the writers he interviews. He draws them out and lets them shine. It makes me want to read almost every book...”Read full review »

I found you via Megan’s podcast. I love the concept and you have a nice voice. I tune you in when I’m trying to fall asleep, usually at 3:00 AM. Problem is your interviews are good so they keep me awake!
I’m 72 and now have the audacity to think I will take a stab at writing a book. It’s...”Read full review »
