I love this podcast

As a writer himself, Charlie brings to his interviews keen insights. His preparation is admirable and his questions lead to authors’ answers that inspire me as a novelist—and deepen my appreciation of books as a reader. I can’t get enough of this podcast!

Intelligent author interviews.

Charlie Lovett uses his talent and experience as a writer to ask the kind of questions writers will find helpful and readers will find revealing. From one literary podcast host to another (Charlotte Readers Podcast) I say keep up the good work.
