I love writing excuses and highly recommend listening. It has great tips, great advice, and a peak into the world of professional writing for those of us that haven't quite made it there yet. But, it is what it is, a 20 minute weekly podcast. This isn't nearly enough time to cover any topic in great detail. They are very strict on keeping to their time limit and end up leaving some thoughts undeveloped. The episodes are more like a starting point. A place to pause, consider what I could add or adjust to my writing, then do a little follow up research. I think the greatest strength of writing excuses is the discussion format. There are a gazillion books about how to write, but when you read a book, or an article, you only get one person's point of view. You can read more books by different people, but listening to authors talk with each other, sharing different experiences and writing strategies adds a whole new level of learning.
