winey writers
two writers, phd students, and friends talking about everything from current reads, romance fiction, life in your early twenties, writing your first novel, and more — featuring occasional guest speakers, including industry professionals, authors, fellow academics and friends. Join our conversations about the books we love and hate, the ups and downs of being an emerging writer, what it’s like to be a phd student in writing, and everything else in between. This podcast embraces the messiness of conversations, and engages in a lot of — as Harry likes to call it — Fuckidiness™.
