My favorite writing themed podcast
Andrea and Allison are like my sisters from other misters. I feel like listening to them co-lead their show is like listening to the smartest, funniest, most neurotic (that’s a compliment) members of my family at a holiday dinner. If what was discussed around the table was show don’t tell, voice, humor, pacing....instead of who found the best price per pound on avocados. Almost the same thing. I love hearing the stories the students in the class read. They are without exception raw, real, honest and well written. The feedback Allison and Andrea give is both helpful and insightful. I only wish the show came out more often. I end up listening to each episode twice, even three times, to feed my habit, which is probably a bit compulsive. So please produce more episodes so that I can avoid developing yet another habit I’ll end up discussing in therapy. Love the show. Steve
Perfect mix of stories and workshop
Least painful way to learn how to tell your story. Follow this class as they write their own stories. Hear the questions to ask that lead to effective edits. Try it at home and upload your own story... I found my tribe.
Touching stories because they are so everyday, so human
I am always moved by the authentic stories I hear on this podcast. Also a Lipservice fan, since the Books and Books performances. Thank you and congratulations!
❤️love
I found ‘writing class radio’ after listening to the Dear Sugars finale, then searching podcasts for Steve Almond. I loved the episode on 4/24/16 with Missy, finding her tribe through Elizabeth Gilbert and onto WCR. This podcast makes me feel like I’ve found some tribe too. COME TO HAWAII :)
So helpful!
I’m so grateful for this podcast! It is full of honesty and meaningful stories. It’s a great resource for writers and any human types that enjoy storytelling.
Educational and Fun!!!
I didn’t expect that they’d ACTUALLY get into *how* to write... but they do! And they do it so well. Super educational and FUN! Love this podcast.
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.
