Hosted by Alan Langford and Michael Pinkus · arts · EN
Every two weeks authors Alan Langford and Michael Pinkus talk about an aspect of the writing process, set our writing goals, and report on our progress since the last episode. Note: We're Canadian, we swear a bit. Marked explicit for occasional strong language. This started as a way for us to hold each other accountable to our writing goals. Two conversations in, we decided to publicly embarrass ourselves and post our conversations on YouTube, the idea being that if there was an audience out there (ha!) we'd be even more committed to our goals. After we spent far too much time trying to come up with a name for this show, Alan got frustrated and said "You'd think two writers could come up with a decent hook!" and Michel said, "that's it!" and so the "Two Writers, No Hook Podcast" was born. We start with Episode 3 because our first two conversations were not recorded.
