How Did This Vanity Project Get So Popular?
There are many episode titles that sound like you'll garner a wonderful education listening to this podcast. Well, maybe. First you have to go through no less than 25 minutes and as long as 30 minutes of nonsense. She talks about what she's doing personally, what conferences she's going to, and so on. This may be of interest to those who know her but none of it will help improve your writing. Just when you think she's about to get to the subject, she reads listener reviews and talks about the pictures they sent her. Then the show begins...oh wait, no! We now must hear her overlong advertisements. When her guest does finally show up you may get a 5 - 10 minute discussion about the subject she promised but then they're off on more tangents. I thought for sure the first episode I listened to was an anomoly, but no. That's her show. You may get good information from The Creative Penn, I'm sure there's much to learn in her over 300 episodes but if you want to spend an hour each week improving your craft there are far better options than wasting your time on this.Read full review »

I was so overwhelmed with everything I needed to do in regards to marketing. I don’t know how it’s taken me so long to come across Joanna, but she’s truly brilliant, and if you listen to her, IT WILL HELP! I’m not usually huge on Podcasts (but this one is obviously worth it), and if you’re in the...Read full review »
