Interesting interview
I listened to the Gen XY story/interview and thought it was a thoughtful conversation. I’m definitely going to check out more episodes.

Love this show!
I appreciate this show and find the advice and stories from writers and adjacent to be very valuable. The AI information lately is mind blowing- thanks for making this an essential part of the discussion for future writers.

Less Of Good Host
Need to hear more from the quest and less of the host. It plaques most podcast. With the exception of “ I’ll Drink To That”. The host, Levi Dalton is extremely knowledgable on the main topic but asks a question and gets out the way until the quest is finished replying. He understands it’s not about him, it’s about his quest.

Very little writing advice
It’s just an interview show. Mostly about the interviewee’s background and the topic of the book. If the subject of the interviewee’s book isn’t inherently useful to writers, expect as little as 2-5% of the episode to be about craft or process.

A must-listen for writers and creatives
This show does a great job into diving into the back stories of creatives to understand how they got where they are.

Loved the interview with Dave Asprey! He's an eccentric brilliant guy although exercise does seem to be the cure to a healthy lifestyle too.

So smart
Required listening for any aspiring writers.

One of my faves
I will confess that there are very few podcasts that don’t get annoying or boring to me after a while. This is one of them. The topics are reliably interesting, even if I’m skeptical going in, and the host is humble and funny and easy to listen to. I’m an editor and writer, but I think this show would appeal to anyone with an interest in reading or writing.

Growing enthusiasm!
I’ve enjoyed Jon Small’s podcast since the beginning, and my enthusiasm has been growing of late, with so many different angles and fascinating guests… as a writer, I was drawn from the beginning; as a listener, I’m just digging the show!

Excellent Podcast, Terrific Host
Wonderful show, filled with knowledgeable people chatting about various aspects of writing. The host, Jonathan Small, is a true pro. He asks interesting questions and seems to have great rapport with his guests. Overall, a top-notch pod.

Equal parts writing advice, life wisdom, and fun
I subscribe to several high-quality writing podcasts, and Jonathan’s obvious talent for interviewing sets “Write About Now” apart from the crowd. He’s affable, funny without being annoying, and genuinely interested in his guests’ stories, backgrounds, and perspectives on craft and career, etc. Nothing about this podcast is precious, which I appreciate. Each time I listen it’s as if I’m sitting down with Jonathan and his guest at a neighborhood pub, having a down-to-earth yet fascinating chat about writing, our favorite thing. So, yeah, treat yourself to a frothy pint of writing advice, life wisdom, and fun—give this one a listen!

Write About Now

Jonathan Small asks just the right questions at just the right time, which allows his guests to share their journeys in an honest way and give valuable insights into their specific writing domain.

Wildly entertaining resource!
I’m obsessed with this podcast. As a writer (books, feature articles) I could listen to other writers discuss their process all day long, and this has given me the opportunity to do just that. I find the strength of this podcast lies in how many unique types of writers he speaks to! I love hearing the day to day process and hurdles and exciting challenges that different kinds of writers face. And Jon is a perfect interviewer—always asking what you want him...along with great Qs you didn’t realize you wanted to know.
