Customer Reviews
Sublime Sustenance
I’ve just recently followed this podcast and what a joy. Brendan does an exceptional job keeping the conversations real. It’s clear his subjects trust and respect Brendan’s intentions and curiosities about writing in general and their writing life specifically. Listening to this podcast often feels like listening in on two writing friends connecting after a while apart excited to share their discoveries and passions with each other. Honest and generous insights into the wide variety of creative lives. Good stuff.
The most metal podcast on creative nonfiction
The best/most metal podcast for those interested in writing CNF or hearing from some of their favorite CNF authors. I love Brendan’s style. I love his rages against the algorithms and authenticity about the writing life. I always learn about new and interesting books/authors while listening. He also has a great newsletter.
Love this Podcast
One of the best writing/interviewing podcasts out there on creative non-fiction writing and its authors. Brendan has a wonderful voice and personality to listen to and his questions are thoughtful and relevant. He conducts his interviews in a manner that make them sound more like easy going conversations. Brendan is funny and real and so are his guests. Conversations range from writing lifestyles and tactical advice to general discussions about the genre. Great listens all the time. Thanks Brendan.
