I enjoy hearing what others have accomplished, what they are currently doing, and how they got there. I also want/need to hear about all aspects of writing. As a somewhat newer listener, I'd enjoy hearing any and all topics even if you've covered them in the past. As Arkle mentioned above, including any new information, opinions, or commentary on old topics would be great; I'm sure some of these have changed or been solidified as you've grown as a writer.

I feel like you are the spokesperson and personal cheerleader for all of us who want more out of what we write. Whenever I feel "alone" in the big bad world of "putting my ideas on paper" you are always there to say, "hey man, keep with it, I'm trying too, we all are."While I find the interviews to be fantastic and packed with information, it makes me feel like I'm standing on the sidelines wishing that someday I'll be where they are. I want to feel like I'm in the game, and my team (you and all the folks who listen to ISBW) are with me.I can understand that after 100 plus episodes of ISBW things can seem old hat. The same questions get answered time and time again, but I feel there is great value in that for old listeners and new listeners. We all find ourselves at different places in our journey and sometimes a reiteration of old info is exactly what we need.So I obviously cast my vote for more advice. :)Keep it up Mur!

Also, maybe an occasional re-visit of topics from early episodes you haven't covered in awhile, sort of like Tee Morris's Re-boot camp, but perhaps with some extra commentary, like pointing out any changes in opinion where applicable.
