Print Run is a podcast created and hosted by Laura Zats and Erik Hane. Its aim is simple: to have the conversations surrounding the book and writing industries that too often are glossed over by conventional wisdom, institutional optimism, and false seriousness. We’re book people, and we want to examine the questions that lie at the heart of that life: why do books, specifically, matter? In a digital world, what cultural ground does book publishing still occupy? Whether it’s trends in the queries from writers that hit our inboxes or the social ramifications of an industry that pays so little being based in Manhattan, we’re here for it. Probably to laugh at it and call it names, but here for it nonetheless. Print Run is the happy-hour conversation after a long day at a catalog launch; it’s the bottle of wine you drink most of on a Tuesday when the manuscripts are no good. We’re for writers, for publishers, for anyone who’s opened a book and wanted to know—really know—what goes into getting the damn thing made. Join us. We’ll talk about the worst sex scene we’ve ever read and wonder aloud about how millennials will affect the books of the future. We’ll figure out why Jonathan Franzen wants to replace your child with a penguin and whether or not that penguin will be buying hardcovers when he grows up.

Many want to "make it" in the music industry. Few successfully make it in. Even fewer stay in. The goal of this podcast is to help bring some clarity to your path towards a music career. We want to help you not only get in, but stay in. To this end, hosts Seth Mosley and X O'Connor will dig deep with luminaries of the music industry. These are people who have "made it" and today have very notable careers. Many are Grammy winners and work with prominent record labels. Some of our listeners might be on the creative side as a songwriter, artist, producer, or engineer. Others might be on the business side interested in marketing, management, A&R, or radio. The "Made It In Music Podcast" is designed to serve both sides; we are certain you will find a place in this community. How do you get a record deal, get a hit artist to cut your song, build fans, or get on tours? We tackle these questions and more.

STEP INTO MY WORKSHOP where I have been writing and publishing novels full-time since 1993. Let me say up front: this podcast isn't for just anyone. If you're looking to be entertained, or you just want to hang out and shoot the breeze with a bunch of novelists, there are a number of other podcasts that do that. But if you're serious about learning the craft of writing and publishing fiction, you're in the right place. (Just to be clear -- we'll have a great time! When it comes to writing novels, if you're not having fun, you're doing something wrong.) But let's face it. Novelists are a different breed. Not everyone gets us. And honestly, I enjoy nothing more than sitting around and talking shop with novelists. What works. What doesn't work. The ups and downs of being a novelist. That's what this podcast is all about: Sharing with you what I've learned over the years as a career novelist. My goal in creating this podcast is to help other novelists tell their story and get it into the hands of eager readers.

Our podcast will focus less on the WHAT, and more on the HOW and WHY of writing a book. Of course, we will still focus on WHAT our guests write, and discuss books, but we will examine the things that happen behind the scenes – the book of YOU, the writer. The trials and tribulations, the rejections and the successes – we will explore deeper and with greater insight, the authors psyche and process, and the person beneath the book. Hosted by Stuart, Melissa, Emily, and Florianne, we will welcome guests to discuss all of the above and we hope that the conversations we have will be relatable for all who listen. Welcome to WriteCast!
