Customer Reviews
As Good As It Gets
I am a better writer because of this podcast.
That’s it. That’s the review.
An author community
In this age of disconnection, these three have been like an instant community to me. Listening to them joke about the writing lifestyle has gotten me through some very challenging periods in my writing life. It’s a lonely endeavor- or at least it can be, but tuning in to this group of friends each week has been not only informative, but uplifting. I love hearing all the Tangerinos’ questions - expanding the community even further.
I love Erin’s metaphor of the story as a chain of islands in the sea. You jump from island to island as the scenes progress - and suddenly you’re in the middle of the ocean. You can’t see the shore. But that’s just the nature of the beast. The only way out is through.
B Dave’s reminders that the worst words you write are infinitely better than the words you don’t write, is always encouraging and Treaver’s ‘Aw shucks if I can do it, you can too!’ attitude is very refreshing and appreciated. Now I know there’s an A hiding in there, but I’m not sure where. Just in case I got it wrong, here’s one to put wherever you want. A+ to all of you. Thanks for all you do.
Tangerinos forever!
This podcast slaps
As a connoisseur of writing podcasts, trust me when I saw that this one slaps. Hosts Treavor Bettis, Erin M. Evans, and B. Dave Walters each bring their own valuable perspectives and expertises to the show, but what elevates this podcast above its peers is how real it is. It never feels like they're reading off a script or dispensing cliche advice or giving you the safe answer to a tough question. Oh no, my friends, they tell it like it is, all the while being charming, insightful, and often hilarious. The hosts may wander off on tangents, but us Tangerinos know that's a feature not a flaw. If you're looking for a podcast where you can learn some serious writing craft, while also being thoroughly entertained, look no further.
