Congratulations Astrid on such outstanding interviews over 2023. The insights into the writing / creative process have increased markedly through your incredibly respectful questions and empathic listening skills. These episodes must be so helpful to professional writers, who will by choice and definition, be working in a solitary pursuit. All strength to you and your excellent guests. Many thanks.
Astrid is a genius and also has genuine love and enthusiastim for the books discussed.
This is a one of a kind podcast in Australia in terms of quality of interviews with authors about writers' craft. Just love every one. An absolute must listen for writers and aspiring writers, probably many readers would also get so much from this podcast.
Love this podcast for great insights into authors and what makes them tick! Highly recommended and very informative and interesting
Watching Q&A tonight, I was so impressed by Astrid Edwards & then realised she is the same Astrid who brings out the best in the writers she interviews on The Garret. A wonderful listen for anyone who cares about books & ideas.
Wow not only can writers write but they really seem to love to talk as well. Astrid does a great job of interviewing writers from all sorts of genres and getting their personal take on how they approach their craft. Great podcast!
