If you were to do a reading audit of the last year or two of reading, what would it look like? Do you spread your reading across various genres, or do you stick to just one or two? Conducting a reading audit can help notify which genres are missing from your TBR and which genres are surprise favorites for you—all of which helps with your writing. In this episode of the Writer's Digest Presents podcast, managing editor Moriah Richard is in conversation with editor Michael Woodson about what conducting a reading audit did for her—how it revealed to her a new favorite sub-genre, how it has helped her writing, and more.

[REBROADCAST FROM March 7, 2025] In the new film "Eephus," a recreational baseball league in Massachusetts comes together to play one last game before their baseball diamond is razed to make room for a new school. Writer and director Carson Lund talks about the film, which was a nominee at this year's Independent Spirit Awards.

Welcome to Season 6, Episode 7! Our guest today is Lydia Kang, a professor, medical doctor, and acclaimed author, Her latest book is K-Jane, and it's the story of Jane Choi, a typical Nebraskan teen who loves Husker football and is a total banana. That all changes when her parents find out they're expecting a baby, and Jane goes on a mission to become an expert… or at least more knowledgeable about her Korean heritage and pop-culture. From K-pop to K-dramas, through Korean Food and Language, and pretty much K-everything, Jane immerses herself in it. Released on October 21, 2025, K-Jame was received a Starred Kirk's Review and was selected as a Kirkus Best Young Adult Book of 2025. Lydia writes young adult fiction, adult fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. The practicing physician and associate professor of Internal Medicine has also gained a reputation for helping fellow writers with their medical accuracy in their writing.  Her previous work includes Opium and Absinthe, Star Wars: Cataclysm, The November Girl, and Quackery: A Brief History of the Worst Ways to Cure Everything (one of your favorite nonfiction books). In our conversation, Lydia shares her journey to authorship, how she writes authentic awkward teen moments, what it means to be Asian American, and so much more.  To learn more about Lydia, you can visit her website lydiakang.com, follow her instagram @lydiakang, read her poetry and essays, and of course buy any of her books.

But what happens when your older protagonist has a murderous past? That’s the hilarious set up for British actor, comedian and author Fergus Craig’s new ‘cracked cosy’ whodunnit I’m Not the Only Murderer in my Retirement Home. In this episode, Fergus talks about how he started writing crime books, the joys and challenges of bringing his latest novel to life, its international bidding war, and why he decided to walk from the UK to New Zealand. 00:00 Welcome03:59 Writing tip: Keep track of your stories07:29 WIN!: On the Edge by Kate Horan09:47 Word of the week: ‘Infuscate’12:05 Writer in residence: Fergus Craig13:00 Fergus explains I’m Not the Only Murderer in my Retirement Home15:30 The attraction of cosy crime16:55 Getting a book deal via social media17:54 The appeal of a whodunnit plot22:42 The writing process: Planning vs. improvisation24:27 Challenges and joys of writing the book26:04 Differences between writing for TV and books28:02 Fergus’s daily writing routine29:49 Publishing journey and success32:59 Advice on writing comedy35:32 Promoting the book and social media success39:20 Extra tips about writing40:46 Final thoughts Read the show notes Connect with Valerie and listeners in the podcast community on Facebook Visit WritersCentre.com.au | ValerieKhoo.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 675 - David Niemitz - Writer and Teacher - Guild Mage,  a serial fantasy novelWriter and teacher David Niemitz joins the show from Connecticut to talk about his dual life in the classroom and on the page, and how both worlds feed each other. He shares how teaching “film as literature” to high school seniors, using stories like Star Wars, The Matrix, Moana and The Princess Bride to explore the Hero's Journey, keeps him immersed in narrative structure, character arcs, and mythic storytelling. That daily engagement with story craft feeds directly into his own writing.David explains the practical realities of publishing, contrasting the limited data and delayed royalty statements that come with working through traditional and small publishers with the detailed dashboards and page-read metrics available to indie authors on Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing and Kindle Unlimited. He talks frankly about the trade-offs: more support and distribution versus more control and information, and how audio rights and sales data can be even more opaque when handled by audio publishers.The conversation then dives into his path to becoming an author. A lifelong reader raised in a house full of science fiction and fantasy, David rediscovered his passion for writing when he pursued a creative writing master's degree while teaching full time and parenting a toddler. That intense season led to his first self-published science fiction novel, set on Europa and grounded in real-world technology and hard science principles. From there, he evolved his craft, ultimately launching Guild Mage, a serial fantasy novel that became his flagship series.Guild Mage began as serial fiction following Liv, the daughter of a castle cook, who slowly discovers her otherworldly heritage and magical powers over many years. David wanted to explore what it means to age more slowly than those you love, watching human friends grow up, marry, and die while you remain “behind.” He layers in his own experience raising an autistic son, using Liv's slower social-emotional development and sense of being left out as an emotional core, then gradually raising the stakes as she moves from bullied child to powerful adult in a complex fantasy world.Community is at the heart of his process. Early chapters of Guild Mage release first on Patreon, where a devoted Discord community offers feedback, catches continuity errors, and even helps shape cover art concepts that his publisher then passes to illustrator Ben Moran. David describes this as “open development” for fiction, heavily influenced by decades of tabletop roleplaying games where he learned to watch what players love, adjust pacing, and keep tension high so no one gets bored.He also unpacks his hybrid “pantser with prep” approach to plotting using worldbuilding notes, bullet lists, and physical note cards for complex multi-POV battles, while still leaving room for discovery and reader-driven emphasis. https://www.facebook.com/p/David-Niemitz-Author-61558007085046/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Leong told Mike Hosking the reason food and cooking related shows tend to do well is because of the element of human connection. “You know, the stories that food allow us to tell about culture, about time and place and connection, all of these things are just so very enduringly human,” she said. "We are always going to find that compelling.” She says there's something there for everyone, whether it's a show like MasterChef that heroes the humble, homegrown cooks and recipes, or something like ‘Taste of Art', which showcases imagination and incredible possibilities. “There's something in it for everyone ... being able to share a little bit, a little part of who they are in the form of food.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

MIT computer scientist and Silicon Valley veteran Dr. Rizwan Virk reveals the scientific evidence that we are living in a video game simulation and explains why the Mandela effect might actually be a "glitch" in our collective reality in episode 236 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.Dr. Rizwan Virk (Riz) is a graduate of MIT and Stanford, a successful entrepreneur, and a leading authority on the intersection of technology, physics, and mysticism. He is the author of The Simulation Hypothesis and The Simulated Multiverse, works that bridge the gap between computer science and ancient spiritual traditions. As a veteran of the tech industry, Virk uses his expertise in physics engines and virtual reality to explore the possibility that our universe is an information-based system designed for experiential growth.In this conversation, Faust and Dr. Rizwan Virk move past science fiction to examine how quantum physics and the "it from bit" framework suggest that information — not matter — is the true building block of our world. By reframing our existence as a massively multiplayer online role-playing game, they explore whether our greatest personal challenges are actually scripted "quests" designed to keep our individual storylines on track.In this episode:- The VR "Toaster" Moment: The physical accident that proved reality is easier to fake than we think.- The Simulation Point: The exact moment technology makes our world indistinguishable from a computer program.- It From Bit: Why top physicists believe the universe is built on binary code rather than solid matter.- The River of Forgetfulness: Why ancient mystical texts describe birth as "plugging in" to a state of amnesia.- Avatar Agency: The hidden Sanskrit meaning behind "Avatar" and what it reveals about your physical body.- Life's Difficulty Curve: How the founder of Atari's Golden Rule explains the challenges of human existence.- The Mandela Effect: The disturbing reason thousands of people share identical "false" memories of history.- The "Writer's Room": A look at the hidden part of our consciousness that scripts the drama of our lives.- Holographic Life Reviews: Why NDE survivors describe a playback technology that records every human emotion.- The AI Trap: The real reason to fear artificial intelligence that has nothing to do with a robot uprising.- The Bible & The Wolf: A deep dive into the famous scripture "glitch" that is shaking people's faith.This isn't just a theory about technology. It's a radical shift in perspective that suggests your greatest challenges might just be the levels you were born to beat.Check Out Rizwan Virk's books The Simulation Hypothesis: An MIT Computer Scientist Shows Why AI, Quantum Physics, and Eastern Mystics All Agree We Are in a Video Gamehttps://a.co/d/0i5AnzXuThe Simulated Multiverse: An MIT Computer Scientist Explores Parallel Universes, The Simulation Hypothesis, Quantum Computing and the Mandela Effecthttps://a.co/d/0iE4Z7ayConnect with Dr. Rizwan Virkhttps://www.rizvirk.net/https://www.instagram.com/rizcambridge/https://x.com/RizstanfordJoin Us on PatreonFor uncensored episodes, behind-the-scenes content, and exclusive community access:https://patreon.com/FarOutWithFaustListe  on Spotify + Apple PodcastsSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6StPwgq2di3f8uxnc6SmIfApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/far-out-with-faust-fowf/id1533017218FOWF & Faust Checho on Social Mediahttps://www.instagram.com/faroutwithfaust/https://www.instagram.com/theonefaustchecho/https://www.facebook.com/Faroutwithfausthttps://www.facebook.com/faustchecho/https://x.com/faustchechohttps://pwe'd love to hear from you

Host Sue Rose Minahan and guest Jennifer Ng, a Canadian astrologer, are teaming up to unpack the high-energy 2026 Fire Horse Lunar New Year starting on the Solar Eclipse.This year initiates a dynamic marker within the broader celebrations observed by many nations and cultures. We'll look at the brilliant "luni-solar" system—based on the Metonic cycle—where ancient astronomers meticulously tracked the "yellow path" of the ecliptic to harmonize human life with the natural world.Coinciding with a potent Solar Eclipse in Aquarius, this year's transition is a massive catalyst for change. While the Western perspective often focuses solely on the animal sign, the Horse is a generational marker deeply influenced by elemental layers. This shifts the focus from static traits to a complex flow of supportive and transformative power. This lively discussion helps you navigate the year ahead with the bold spirit of the Fire Horse, encouraging us to look toward the skies and utilize ancient wisdom—integrating astronomy, literature, and Qi—to find more than one "exit route" through the complexities of the modern world.Stay Connected and Inspired!
