Podcasts for Writers

weirdkid.jpgSick of reading about writing? Tired of using your eyeballs? Why don't you give them some rest and listen to some of the recommended podcasts for writers folks at Ask Metafilter suggested when I asked for some favorites?

"If you're interested in screenwriting, you might be into the podcasts put out by the folks at Creative Screenwriting Magazine -- they're mostly of Q & A discussions they hold with screenwriters of recent releases. Recent writer(s) they've had on include the writers of Capote, Transamerica, Brick, MI:3, The Devil Wears Prada, etc."

"Garrison Keillor's Writer's Almanac comes to mind. It's not only a good podcast for writers, but probably the best and most worthwhile five minutes one can listen to nowadays."

"I would recommend KCRW's Bookworm with Michael Silverblatt. He is probably the best interviewer of writers I've heard."

"Two podcasts for creative writing (in both cases, sci-fi/fantasy, but most of the content is about creative writing in general) are The Secrets and I Should be Writing. Both have forums which offer some workshopping of pieces and whatnot. "

"Sam and Jim go to Hollywood: 'We're two writers trying to find our next break. Our show is about writing, Hollywood and our experiences on the way to...we wish we knew what.'"
