Scott, I should be writing is a podcast for wanna-be-writers trying to write a novel and/ or get published – folks like me. Over the years I got invaluable advice from Mur, and although I am generally not particularly fond of interviews (they are just as good as both, interviewer and interviewee – you say that?) I came to thouroughly like Murs interviews ’cause she just can do it.
Now about J.C- – let’s see: One killer-podcast-novel on Podiobooks, one killer novel in print and another one coming out soon – what exactly is your problem with J.C.? I can learn from him about writing and marketing your stuff in a new publishing-world I am kind of at loss sometimes.

I for my part deeply admire Mur and J.C. and the whole American podcast-novel-scene, how they stick together and help each other out. You guys are a true community, and you ROCK!

And now please excuse me, got to go because the download has ended. Thanks for everything, you both, and happy birthday, Mur!

Oh Scott #1, you’re such a douche. Your sense of entitlement is galling. The advertisements were paid for, the interviews were timely and relevant, and — wait for it — you can simply skip episodes that you don’t want to listen to.

I’m presuming that you’re an aspiring writer, which makes your recent abandonment of Mur’s killer podcast particularly ultra-douchey, as I presented some extremely pertinent details and thoughts about working within the mainstream publishing business during the recent release of my debut novel. That’s free advice and experience you’re missing out on. It’s insight you didn’t have to earn.

I reckon the best thing to come out of your departure from the ISBW experience is that *we* don’t have to hear *your* gripes about the authoritative, invaluable — AND FREE — content Mur provides, regardless of who she interviews.

FYI Mike, JC does have a job now. Otherwise your comments are spot on. I for one don’t mind hearing more from JC.

Hey Scott, no doubt Mur’s gonna miss your subscription fee – oh, wait a minute…

I for one enjoyed the show, and if anyone’s gonna begrudge Mur for giving some airtime to a friend who’s out of a job and trying to raise some income, well I’m glad I don’t have to live in their head – it must be a sad & bitter place to be.

Oh, another JC Hutchins feature. As much as I’ve enjoyed the podcast over the last year, this is the end for me. I just can’t take anymore JC Hutchins promotion, it seems every podcast has at least something on him and his work, it’s very tiring, coupled with the sponsor, and ads, it’s all too much. Thanks for the previous entertainment Mur, but I can listen no more.
