Thank you for your election interview with AM Homes; as well as your many enriching author interviews. I’d already voted a few weeks ago, but found it very informative.

Came across an interview with Stephen Graham Jones in a search for podcasts about horror screenwriting, stuck around for a few more episodes because I really appreciate Brad’s interviewing style. By now I’ve listened to interviews with Jones as well as Jonathan Ames and Alexander Chee, and I’m...Read full review »

Can’t really say enough here. Too many upsides to name. Downsides: you will buy many books and you might try to write one.

Thank you for the great episode on flash fiction with Tommy Dean!

Brad Listi’s podcast is one of my favorites. Through it I’ve met many new writers and have learned much more about the craft. Listening is always a worthy investment of my time.

I have been listening to this podcast since I returned to grad school in 2021 for creative writing. It’s been so insightful. Great conversations about the writer’s process, as well as being introduced to work you might never have discovered on your own. Love it! Subscribed to Patreon! Brad, I...Read full review »

Couldn’t love this podcast more. Brad has great guests and asks smart perceptive questions that prompt authors to get into the nitty gritty of their process. Loving the Craftwork episodes.

I like many podcasts. This one’s my favorite.
Splitz mcgritz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/09/24
Brad is a considered interviewer - he has clearly done his research with the authors who speaks to - his questions are interesting and engaged with the subject moving from writing practice, gestation of ideas and the writers reflections on their work post-publication.
Adam Steiner via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/03/24
Been listening to this show for over ten years and it’s not just my favorite author interview podcast it’s my favorite podcast period. Almost every author you can imagine has been on this program, and Brad has this uncanny ability to ask them the questions you’ve already been wondering as listener.
Hello Kris10 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/03/23
I have purchased probably 85% of the books I’ve learned about from this podcast. Brad does a great job having intelligent and interesting conversation with his guests. I really enjoy the layout and pretty much every aspect of this podcast. Give it a go. If you’re into literature I assure you,...Read full review »

Best podcast for engaging discussions with interesting authors. Brad’s thoughtful questions inspire author’s to reveal new perspectives and ideas. Don’t miss out!
Hate this program via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/19/23
Loved this episode; mainstream publishing is as rich and ossified as I feared. Loved Ms Schmidt’s many solutions to the problem, which don’t sound impossible to do. Such a great analysis of the industry. I hope that publishers start running public service campaigns against book banning as she...Read full review »

Love the monologues.
dxjufv via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/13/23
I could, I think, listen to Brad Listi in conversation for the rest of my days; to the diverse, engaging, soulful cast of guests he invites on. Just brilliant. So tender, so quietly fiery, so soothing. Thank you, Brad Listi—and thank you to all the Otherppl guests who set aside time and focus and...Read full review »

Been listening to the show for 5 years now. Wonderful insights to the writer’s life. Brad is a generous host who always gets his guests to open up. If you’re a book lover, a reader, or writer, then this is a podcast for you!
Portisville via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/04/23
Really find the life experiences and backgrounds of the authors interesting. But, it is what Brad Listi draws out of the authors that surface both while providing the listeners with pertinent information on the author’s book. Brad is an informed and superb interviewer. If literary fiction is your...Read full review »

I’ve been listening to Brad’s Otherppl podcast for years now and it’s like listening to a chill conversation with amazing authors, both ones I’ve admired for years and others who I’m just learning about. As a writer myself I often use the podcast to loosen up my mind when I’m stuck in a writing...Read full review »

brad’s on top of his game. he gets great authors, knows their work and bios, asks direct questions respectfully, and keeps the conversation flowing. i like that he has the occasional indie author on as well, as their voices also deserve to be heard.
scribblepost via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/02/22
The time I spend listening to Brad Listi’s conversations with interesting people is time well spent in my day. There is a wealth of prime material here. I’ll spend a lifetime digging into all of it!

Fantastic podcast for writers, aspiring writers, or anyone who enjoys reading. A great look behind the curtain at authors’ lives and creative processes.

Brad is sincere, thoughtful, well-researched, and funny in every episode I’ve listened to so far. This podcast is such a gift!
P.P. Bub via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/26/22
What an excellent series. I discovered it while searching for any audio interview with Frederick Barthelme and got hooked. Listi is funny and insightful, and always asks the right questions.

Easily one of my favorite podcasts with authors or about writing. Brad is a fantastic interviewer, kind and thoughtful.

The show is good. Brad is a cool dude
jeffyjk via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/12/22
Sometimes the host rambles and grunts — but I think he is genuine and unpretentious. That’s the charm of the show. I’m discovering so many interesting writers/people through the show. Glad I came across it. ❤️❤️❤️

I was looking forward to listening to this conversation. I pulled the plug because the sound quality was quite distracting.
Sourdough the Biscuit via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/04/21
Brad, host of the Otherppl podcast, highlights all aspects of being an author and more in this can’t miss podcast! The host and expert guests offer insightful advice and information that is helpful to anyone that listens!

I’m an English graduate student, and I cannot speak highly enough of how pivotal this podcast is. It’s an endless well of information. It’s rife with beautiful, authentic conversations with authors I otherwise would never know. It’s an incredible resource to not only depend on the viability of...Read full review »

really genuine conversations that are simultaneous self-aware and as if the writers have forgetten they are being recorded

Just discovered your pod because of Sarah being on it! Loved this interview, of course. It was great hearing Sarah talk for awhile uninterrupted. Thanks for the good work you do!

Every time I listen to your podcast I feel as I am the only one who listens to it (also as I look at the rates here I realize it may be true that I am the only one in my country — but still, thanks)

Otherppl is the podcast I can't get enough of. I look forward to every new episode and have been eagerly working through the archives. The podcast is a gift for writers and non-writers alike.

Is Brad one of the best interviewers out there? It seems like it. I am new to this podcast and find it so enjoyable - wide ranging and informative. The discussions seem very honest - I feel like I am eavesdropping on some great conversations.

Brad talks with writers and dives into the creative process. It’s a comforting resource as creative person, and the podcast helps shine a light on the mysterious parts of writing, publishing, making art—etc. There’s a review on here that calls Otherppl “too narcissistic” and that just seems too...Read full review »
