    Insightful & Inspiring
    I’m so thrilled to have found this podcast! The interview and solo episodes alike are filled with incredibly smart insights and relatable observations about the playwriting life. I love listening to Emily and consistently come away with new perspectives on my own work and process. Such a helpful and motivating delight of a show!

    an invaluable resource for writers/creators
    I discovered this podcast deep in the many-month throes of trying to complete a first draft of my script and it has been so helpful. Emily is thoughtful and compassionate in her approach to making art and talking about making art. I feel encouraged and supported by her words and inspired by her ideas. A great companion piece to the Artist’s Way. Thank you, Emily!
