Podcasts and More Podcasts
by Steph Beth Nickel
Because I’m eclectically interested, I enjoy a wide variety of podcasts.
Among them…
Writing-Related
The Indie Author Magazine Podcast: Focused on topics of particular interest to self-published authors and those interest in self-publishing.
Writing at the Red House with Kathi Lipp: Kathi and her guests chat on a wide variety of topics of interest to writers.
The Quitcast with Becca Syme: Advice for writers from a Clifton Strengths expert. We’re not all the same—and that means there isn’t only one way to succeed as a writer.
Helping Writers Become Authors with K.M. Weiland: I now watch these episodes on YouTube, each with slides, making them like writers’ workshops.
The Dialogue Doctor with Jeff Elkins: Covering a wide variety of topics of interest to authors for various audiences.
Editing-Related
Your Next Draft with Alice Sudlow: Polishing your manuscript.
The Modern Editor with Tara Whitaker: Tips for the editor’s practical and personal life.
The Editing Podcast with Louise Harnby and Denise Cowle: Tips for editing both fiction and nonfiction, with an emphasis on the business side of editing.
Self-Care (It’s not about spas and getaways to the beach.)
The Next Right Thing with Emily P. Freeman: Insights on how to identify and do the next right thing “in faith, work, and life.”
The Lazy Genius with Kendra Adachi: Author of The Lazy Genius, The Lazy Genius Kitchen, and The Plan shares her unique perspective on how to “be a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don’t”—and only we can decide what truly matters to us.
Grit ’n’ Grace with Cheri Gregory: Wisdom for Christian women who are Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs). Although this moniker doesn’t apply to me, I enjoy listening to this podcast. Developing empathy for those who don’t perceive the world as we do is such a good thing.
Do I agree with everything these podcasters (and others I listen to) stand for, with everything they say? No. But I do learn much from them.
Plus, I enjoy listening to podcasters and audiobook performers because they keep me, a work-from-home extravert, company.
