Confessions of a Podcast junkie

I’m a podcast junkie.


Especially with ones which lift my spirits, inspire and motivate me. I listen when I’m walking or in those ‘in between, less exciting but essential moments’ – meal preparation, hanging up washing and driving.

If I need to switch my brain and focus from a ‘non-writing task’ to ‘writing’, I listen to one of the podcasts below. They inspire, motivate and get me in the mood to tackle whatever writing project I’m working on.


These are my favourite Aussie ones right now! I get giddy when they drop into my feed.


1. Talking Aussie Books (Claudine Tinellis)

2. Writes 4 Women (Pamela Cook)

3. Writer’s Book Club (Michelle Barraclough)

4. So You Want to be a Writer (Valerie Khoo)

5. Ask the Author (Jodi Gibson)

6. That Rom Com Pod (Clare Fletcher and Karina May)

7. The Word Count (Jo Dixon, Fiona Taylor, Jacq Ellem)

8. Writers off the Page (Chenee Marrapodi)

9. Your Dream Life (Kristina Karlsson)


It's by no means an exhaustive list. I’m constantly excited to discover new ones.
