Hosts Rachel Smith (from Rachel's List) and journalist and content writer Lynne Testoni are serving up weekly short bites of advice, tips and strategies, plus special guests, for freelancers who make a living from using their words. We're shooting for 15-minute episodes, but can't promise anything because we can both talk the leg off a chair.

I feel so lucky to have found this podcast when I was just starting out in my freelance biz earlier this year!
I have gained so much incredible information, inspiration, and knowledge from Rachel and Lynne and all of their guests - it’s been invaluable.
I’ve gone from feeling “how am I going to do this?” to “I think I can do this now!”
Thanks Lynne and Rachel for making this podcast and being so generous with your knowledge but doing it in a really fun and lighthearted way 😀
Surely this is one of the most practical and helpful podcasts for freelancers? The audio isn’t great but what’s lacking in slick production is made up for by the quality content. Get a pen and paper and be prepared to absorb all the wisdom shared by the expert guests.
This is a great podcast to learn about all the different facets of freelancing and writing to marketing and PR - basically everything to do with earning a living off words!
So many interesting guests and I love the tech tips!
This is such a great podcast - generous with information, and also highly motivating. Super handy if work mojo is low and / or you want to upskill and expand tech tools. Love it!
