“If I had to take a sip of Bud Light every time I heard the word “I” on this podcast, the coroners would be zipping me up within 10 minutes.
It’s almost as if this podcast would assume you were extremely familiar with the host’s entire bibliographies with how much they talk about themselves and their own books. On this podcast, practical advice is replaced with 10,000 ft view platitudes and unhelpful anecdotes about puppeteering and illustration.

Nuggets of helpful information can be gleaned from episodes featuring guests, and I suggest you skip to those.
I offer as an alternative to anyone wanting to learn more about improving their writing, the practical, focused and well written podcast “Helping Writer’s Become Authors” by K M Weiland.”

“This show is concise and packed with good advice. One of my absolute favourites. Good sound quality, good structure, great hosts. Some podcasts feel like they’re wasting my time with endless, unstructured rambling. This podcast never does that. Even if the episodes are short, they have a...”Read full review »
