“The host is the New Yorker’s fiction editor whose interviews are superb. I’ve been introduced to some wonderful authors, both the story writers and the readers (who are also published authors).”

“The Writer’s Voice podcast is a treasure. The level of care, attention and personal investment that goes into each episode is remarkable, as is the opportunity to listen in on a conversation between Deborah Treisman and George Saunders or Margaret Atwood or any of the New Yorker writers. I marvel...”Read full review »

“I thought I’d long since left a review, but I guess not. Which is crazy, because this show has been part of my life since 2007. It has always been, and remains, a pretty much perfect show. It’s exactly what it says on the box, with great production values and a great host. It’s just a great...”Read full review »

“This is my all-time favourite gateway to short fiction. Also, Deborah has a yoga-teacher voice I could listen to all day. I want her to read some stories, too!
P.s. “Waaah ustaad” translates to “amazing, maestro!” in Urdu.”

“Love the author’s commentary on the episodes that have sound. Half of them have no sound. This is the only podcast that does this. I listen to at least 50 weekly so I know it is not on my end. It is a shame bc so many people put much work into each episode that is totally silent.”

Deborah Treisman is such a good facilitator of discussion—you never feel she has any agenda but to appreciate the...”Read full review »

“I have used these to fall asleep for years (as well as listen in the day). The irritating new advertisements ruin that possibility. Must EVERYTHING have adverts? So many quiet and reflective podcasts are now being ruined by this. I know there’s no point complaining but am doing it anyway.”

“They had Sherman Alexie on in 2022, just three years after he was outed as a predator. Really strange choice. Alexie used to be one of my favorite writers. Otherwise I wouldn’t even bother leaving a review about it, but he earned this. Hope he’s not harming anymore women.”

“I am really disappointed that Sherman Alexie gave the reading in the April 2022 episode. He doesn’t deserve this platform (see articles from 2018 exposing his long history of using his fame to corner, intimidate and coerce women into s*x). He also has worked to thwart the rise and success of...”Read full review »

“I have tried reading Carver any number of times. The fault (for not finding the work engaging) is mine: Between my own two ears the stories fall flat. After listening to this—that is, having the story read to me—I said, and nearly out loud, ‘Wow. I get it now. This is amazing.’

“I love the concept and the stories are great but the host and most of the guests sound like Molly Shannon and Alec Baldwin in the Schweaty(?) Balls SNL sketch. Their voices are so prim and soft and stilted that it is almost beyond parody.”
