Heard my first podcast in defense of the list tickle and loved the reporting, featured interviewees, and music interludes. I hope to see more content related to positioning one&#39;s writing, and grabbing people&#39;s limited attention with effective writing styles. Keep up the great work!

A podcast for writers!

I&#39;m definitely thinking about having my first-year composition students listen to some of these podcasts.  The one on citation lays out the rationale behind citing in a clear way, and that rationale is something that&#39;s important for writers to understand.  I also liked the five-paragraph essay podcast.  I&#39;m really looking forward to what this group comes up with next!
