Writing Excuses often features guests as a way to bring different voices and perspectives to the show. Our show would not be possible without our guests, whose expertise and perspectives are a critical part of the podcast. Below is an inexhaustive list of the many guests we have had the pleasure of talking with.

It is made of hope, ambition, and many edits.

Also, gratitude. In fact, mostly gratitude.

Writing Excuses Guests



Note: Our process for guest selection is an in-person thing. We appreciate the many applications we receive, but since we only record in person, the alignment of applicants, road sessions, and guest slots is rare. Like planetary alignments, only in this case the astronomers plotting those alignments don’t have telescopes, and are busy writing books and stuff.
