“I used to listen to a lot of book podcasts. The NY Times had one. There's that BookWorm guy. The Bat Segundo thing. I used to listen to a lot of them. They were usually all talking about the same things. They were sort of an echo chamber. And they were pretentious. I stopped listening to all of them. Then I found this one somehow. It's a real pleasure. Brad Listi finds interesting guests who aren't the usual suspects, though if you follow publishing you will have heard of many of them. Incredibly, they manage not to spend every hour talking about Jonathan Franzen. They talk about books and writing and what they do with their lives. There's inevitably a self-seriousness that creeps into any discussion of writers and writing which can be a little hard to listen to at times. Earnest discussions about how tweets are composed creep me out. Other than that, I enjoy this show, and I appreciate that Mr. Listi turns them out with such frequency. Doing so many shows so quickly certainly makes it impossible to do much in the way of preparation, but I think that actually makes the show stronger in a way, so that listeners often discover the author at the same time as the interviewer. While in written interviews, I'd want to see just the opposite, in this format, it works very nicely. If you care anything about writing or publishing, this is a terrific podcast.”Read full review »

“When you want to procrastinate from writing and not feel guilty….listen to Brad talk about writing. Some great episodes to consider: Jami Attenberg, DT Max, Susan Orlean, Lee Boudreaux. Too many others to mention.”

“Brad Listi is a delightful host and asks the inappropriate questions most people wouldn't. He peppers the interviews with conversational tidbits of himself that are entertaining without straying too far from the subject. I love his curiousity and the informal pub like feel of the podcasts....”Read full review »

“I listen to about 5 or 6 hours of podcasts a day. I love Brad Listi and his guests, especially the poets and younger writers that get mixed into the set of accomplished authors. Keep it up Brad.”
