co-host: Matt Wallace (2015-2023), Ursula Vernon (2024-present)
Ditch Diggers is on back with Ursula Vernon co-hosting!
While I Should Be Writing is for beginners who are easily intimidated by rejection and self-doubt, Ditch Diggers is the business of writing, when the craft is not as important as the deadline. (Oh the craft is very important. But deadline without craft can be worked with, while craft without deadline will never pay the bills.) We don’t worry about art here, we worry about the business of your writing. Because ditch diggers go to work and can’t afford to get ditch digger block, so we refuse to let writer’s block stop us from doing our work. Go straight to the episodes, or subscribe now!
Ditch Diggers guest hosts are booked by invite only.
Ditch Diggers is explicit, unsafe for work and kids, so if you listen in public, be warned.
