I love this podcast. The topics are fascinating. The content is easy to digest, the sound quality is great, and the interviews are fluid. I think this show is amazing for writers because of the literature insights that lead to valuable advice. And it's just as enjoyable as a reader. The topics involving psyche and tropes can be really deep, relatable, and thought-provoking.

Awesome & unique topics
