“I've had trouble finding any podcasts about the crafting of comic books, or the careers that sometimes go with that. But this podcast, while not restricted to the comics medium, feels that niche excellently.”

“I’m a fiction writer and have really enjoyed this new angle on the craft of storytelling. Even though the primary focus is radio, there is so much to apply to my own process. Plus it’s really entertaining!”

“This is the first time I review a podcast (and I listen daily to podcasts). It is SO GOOD. A couple of things:
1) Not just a podcast. There is a really cool WEBSITE, with show notes, transcripts of the podcasts, links. There is a BLOG by Jessica Abel and there is a BOOK too.
2) There is a show...”Read full review »

“This is my first iTunes review. I’m a fan of ‘RadioLab' and 'This American Life' but also a lapsed professional comics artist. This is my new favorite show in any form of media (and I am only on Episode 3).”

“Incorporating interviews/conversations with top practitioners, and abundant examples, this progressive step-by-step tutorial is a worthy companion to its eponymous graphic-novel-style instructional book, and an invaluable aid to storytellers of all levels in all media… Basic narrative principles...”Read full review »

“This is a very juicy and useful podcast for anyone seeking to create a story or develop their creative vision. To my view, it’s much more effective than a million books on the subject because it’s audio - this means the storytelling itself is working on your brain using the same methods it is...”Read full review »

There are so many people and programs out there that capitalize and exploit aspiring creators. Out on the Wire feels real without using all that promising cosmic language of...”Read full review »

“Out on the Wire walks you through exactly what you need to know to turn your fiction or nonfiction idea into a living, breathing story that readers or listeners can’t put down. And then, author Jessica Abel and crew do themselves one better by offering a free, online workshop where you can post...”Read full review »

“I have never been so inspired and at the same time equipped to move my story from idea to concrete product. You don't need to have read the book, though it is a masterwork in and of itself. All you need is this podcast, do it!”

“This is such a great idea. Abel has access to the pub radio rock stars in this podcast. Just as useful are the workshop episodes.
All great material to augment teaching. The “Focus” episode will hugely help my students understand the focus of the audio documentaries they are producing.”

“Jessica Abel and her crew are offering what should be a $500 (or more) distance-learning course for free. Her generosity of spirit, wide-ranging knowledge and creative ways of expressing that knowledge to her audience, are just a few of the reasons you should subscribe if you are at all...”Read full review »

“After reading the book, I had to check out the podcast. I didn't realize it until after episode 2.5, but the podcast is what is keeping me on track to make my podcast real. Instead of this flighty idea that only exists in my head, I think Out on the Wire is going to ensure that I have a podcast...”Read full review »

“Whether Jessica Abel means it to be or not, but Out on the Wire is a master class in how to tell a story—something that anyone can benefit from.
