The best I’ve heard
I’m a writing podcast junkie and have tried so many. This one is raw and real - I’m so grateful to have found it. It gives me something to think about every single episode. Thank you!

On Writing
I randomly discovered this podcast and have been working my way through the episodes. I was hooked immediately from Episode 1. I highly recommend that you start from the beginning because later episodes will reference earlier episodes. I have found that the stories are interesting, personal and intimate - it's almost as if I'm in the class myself. Earlier episodes may have some recording/sound issues but the later episodes don't have these issues. If you're offended by profanity this may not be your cup-of-tea. For everyone else, dive in and enjoy.

My favorite podcast!
I can not stop listening to these stories and love both Andrea and Allison as hosts. All I would want is to be in one class!!! This has given me the courage to start writing.

I cannot stop listening
Please keep making these, Ive run out of old episodes to listen to. I guess I have no choice now but to try out some of those great writing prompts...

Real Writing
I clicked on this podcast thinking I’d get some tips for writing, and in addition to that, I’m rediscovering the healing power of listening to others tell their story.

My favorite podcast
If you are interested in writing, especially your own story, then you’ll love this podcast. Hearing everyone’s stories is inspiring, motivating, and a breath of fresh air. Listening to this podcast has propelled me back into the world of writing after setting it aside over a decade ago. Humorous, insightful, and real- Writing Class Radio is a win in my book and I highly recommend!

Reinvigorate your love for writing and listen to great stories!
I stumbled upon this podcast just before New Years. I had made a resolution to try to get back into writing. Much like Humans of New York this podcast shares individual stories from everyday people. It’s this glimpse into other’s lives and hearts that really draws you in. It’s definitely worth a listen!

So glad I found this
Funny and inspiring! I love hearing real writers talk about the craft and share their own stories. Keep it up!

Real
I love this podcast. It’s so down-to-earth and real. You feel like you are in the class. Great for writers who need direction, inspiration, and prompts! I recommend to all my fellow 20-somethings who are seeking answers to who they are. This podcast provides a method to figuring that out! Please continue!

Lovely
A really comforting listen. Informative and often inspiring. Lots of diverse storytelling!!

Love this podcast
For aspiring writers or just those who like hearing real personal stories--a fun podcast and touching too. I love Andrea and Alison and the rapport they have.

Craft, craft, craft
Fun, engaging, and, above all, informative and applicable to your work.

Awesome podcasts
I love this podcast for so many reasons. The hosts, Andrea and Allison, are witty and funny. The stories are fresh and honest. It has really gotten me to think about putting my own thoughts on paper. Check it out.

My new favorite podcast!
Thank you so much for making a real space for regular people to get together and be creative! I am finding it so inspiring and captivating and I learn something new about story telling every episode! Thank you for the prompts and I love that it fits into a bigger suite of offerings through writing class radio online. Thank you! I love it!

Love this!
I am just discovering the wonder of podcasts, and this one has me hooked! Even if you're not a writer, the stories are wonderful, funny, touching, and REAL.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS PODCAST!!
If you're not listening to this podcast, you're missing out!! Subscribe immediately!! Andrea and Allison are incredible. I was so touched by Episode 29 - but not any less than the previous episodes. Each podcast is better than the one before it. I'm not a writer or a storyteller, but I am realizing I DO have a story to tell and am almost ready to submit my personal sample!!

Passed With Flying Colors
I am obsessed with this podcast. As a long-time fan of shows like This American Life and Radiolab, my standards are pretty finicky, but this podcast passed all my tests! The stories are genuine, funny, sad, powerful, silly... You get all the feels. The best part is that the stories are told by regular people--sharing outstanding real-life tales. It's so true that everyone has a story and this podcast is teaching me how to tell mine. Worth a listen.

Awesome.
Listening to writing class radio makes me feel like it's okay to be human. The content is raw and makes you feel something. It's art of storytelling at its finest.

Love this Podcast!!!
this is so good. really interesting look into the interior world of the story tellers. i just discovered this podcast and binge-listened all the episodes. i'm looking forward to the next one!

Tellmemoretellmemore
I freaking LOVE this podcast. I have literally been stopped in my tracks to replay a bit that was so good I couldn't believe my ears. Then I played it again and it really was THAT good. Whatever their 'of the moment' theme, we are always treated to a deliciously satisfying resolution at the end. Why can't real life work this way? Don't ever leave me, Writing Class Radio. I love you so.

Writing class radio
I enjoy listening to the podcast because I get to hear different writers with different styles each tell their stories in their own voice. It can get raw and real and helps me to get to that point with my own writing. Sallye

Love to Listen
These stories are super entertaining, can take your breath away. Also, you get writing tips. Listen!

WRC Keeps It Real
The stories written by the students and instructors get heavy, deep and real, and make the listener want to look into themselves and write their truth alongside them. Andrea and Allison have created a podcast that serves as a space to ask prodding, important questions for our time, which, along with the student stories, has been an invaluable resource for someone like me who doesn't have time or the ability to take a writing class IRL. Short, sweet, and great for when you need to give your brain a reset back to thinking about what matters to you. Brava.

Refreshing! Different!
Wow! This is like getting into someone else's head and nosing around for the topics we all think about but don't talk about because they're taboo or politically incorrect or socially undersirable. This is so refreshing! Also helpful in giving you permission to think about your own unspoken realms.

Real People Telling Real Stories
What a great find! The voices and the stories are real, raw and utterly engaging. The stories are always entertaining and often touchingly sad. But the best part is that teacher Andrea always coaxes a lesson out of whatever it is we are listening to.

Addicted!!
A wonderful podcast that teaches writing skills with writers reading their unpolished and polished works. You will laugh and cry! So so so good!

Nothing else like it!
I am obsessed with this podcast. The hosts Andrea and Allison make me feel like I'm part of the conversation as they guide me through the stories they feature that episode and I am highly entertained while learning about the craft of writing- that doesn't happen often and should be praised when found! The recurring cast of storytellers featured within the podcast are students- only, they're totally established writers with their own unique voices- no matter how terrible, insane, or outrageous their story- they're so raw and honest, that I find myself rooting for them no matter what. I always want MORE! If you're not listening this while you commute in Miami traffic- you're insane! Give it a go!

Funny, Moving, High Quality
This podcast is so surprisingly good. You get these interesting, totally personal stories. And I listen to a lot of podcasts. This one is produced so well. Even the music stays with me. Give it a listen!

Better and better.
I've been listening since the start, and this show has kept up its momentum, and then some. I look forward to every episode - the stories are riveting, and I ALWAYS learn something new about the art of telling true stories. Bravo!!!

Great story telling
Check this podcast, these girls are funny
