Tindstar ,

Unrivaled quality Content

I simply havent found anything close to having the same level of quality - the host is so well-prepared that most other podcasts I listen to simply pales by comparisment.

Viking Thomas ,

Superb Podcast!

Wish I could give more than 5 stars. Invaluable for the aspiring writer. Listen Episode #83 if you want to selfpublish. Just awesome..

Srolesen ,
