Mostly good
I’m glad the TSNOTYAW team went back to the regular books with hooks segment. The interweaving of query critiques and author interviews felt choppy and not as helpful. I think CeCe is the most skilled interviewer on the team, and kind of wish Bianca let authors do more talking when she leads the interviews. It often feels like she’s talking as much as and sometimes more than her guest. I miss the rapid fire questions of the early days. I know guests can’t necessarily be expected to have top notch sound equipment like the hosts, but occasionally there’s such a discrepancy in the sound quality (like today’s episode released 10/12/23) that I’m constantly having to adjust the volume to hear the guest and it kinda ruins the experience for me. I had a lot of trouble actually understanding the guest today because of the poor sound quality and I feel like I missed the benefit of her expertise. Overall, it’s generally a helpful, informative, and enjoyable podcast, but some of the format changes and interview styles have led to this being only 4/5 for me.

I’m an avid fan of this podcast and look forward to its release on Thursdays! Bianca’s knowledge of writing and the industry is fantastic and she’s so generous to share it with us each week. I always take away something new and can’t wait to learn more each week.

I could not recommend...Read full review »
