    Excellent!
    I generally don't like writing podcasts because they are shallow and all repeat the same advice. Every podcast I've heard come out gives me good quality, detailed recommendations that I can apply. It also rejuvenates my interest in writing. Love it!

    Phenomenal
    Smart interviewer. Smart guests. Great questions. Informative. Insightful. As a writer I have learned so much listening to David’s podcast.

    This is my favorite new podcast.
    Who knew there was so much to learn about writing? Who know it could be interesting and, dare I say, fun? I’m 62 and have spent my career in legal writing (as well as homeschooling my child). As I near retirement I want to do something different. I was looking around for some ideas about different writing styles. I really like style of this podcast and the frequency is great because I listen to most episodes at least once. Thanks David.

    Inspiring and Worth Your Time!
    I LOVE this podcast. I haven’t felt this inspired to create and produce meaningful work in a long time. Thank you, Dave and the Write of Passage team, for delivering flawlessly!

    A Legacy in the Making
    It’s rare to see a concept get revealed and know it’s going to be big. I held out to make sure it was steak and not just sizzle. It more than checks out. If you are a writer or a creative personality - you will benefit from listening to this growing library. It praises the benefits of writing in public - but it also just shows how important writing is for everyone. Save some time for reflection. I know this is overly glowing - and before you ask “did you get paid to write this?” - no, I just want this timestamped review here. Inked approval from someone who listens to A LOT of podcasts.

    Great guests + packed with insights
    From the episodes I’ve heard so far, this podcast has a wide mix of different types of guests pursuing different types of writing. It has a high density of insights-per-minute (ex: Derek Thompson defining interesting as “novel and important”. So simple!) Great show so far, excited to see how it progresses

    Dynamic, Deep, & Developmental!
    Excellent series where David bounces ideas with some of the most interesting thinkers and writers in the game. Not just this, but he extracts actionable advice for one to develop their knowledge and most importantly, their skills. Very much looking forward to more!
