The question of spoken/written word is an interesting and quite challenging one for me – but I reckon we’re all going to need to learn how to use this medium soon even if it’s not the preferred one for us writers…

I think it was very appropriate to do a spoken word review about this book, given the focus on conversation. I hadn't thought about using podcasts for book reviews but think this is a great idea. Well done! Congratulations on your first podcast. I think it was very appropriate to do a spoken word review about this book, given the focus on conversation.

I found the "interested" rather than "interesting" point a very powerful one too - as you say it opens up many doors and possibilities. I think it's also a good state to write from - helps with tone and style, and also gets us past the internal critic ("who do you think you are to talk about this" "well, but I'm interested...")

You speak very much like you write, so you definitely practice what you preach about authenticity in conversation. You made an excellent point about trying to be interested rather than interesting. Being interested is really what opens the door to learning and understanding. And those things, in turn, make us interesting.
