I’ve been hooked on this podcast for days. Ronit’s voice is a joy, and her interviews are top-notch. My goal? Finish my memoir and earn a spot in her guest chair. What a treat that would be—thank you, I’ve learned so much.

Great interview with Maggie Smith. Ordered her book after I listened! #craftjunkie

Enjoyed the two interviews I listened to but super distracting background bosses LOUD in the mic.. rustling, clicking, high pitched creaks etc.. I can’t listen anymore!

I just discovered this podcast, and I’m so glad I did! Here’s why: -The episodes are clearly titled so you can listen to the ones that are most relevant to your own writing project(s) -The host jumps right into each interview so I don’t have to skip a bunch of content at the beginning. -The host asks thoughtful and useful questions for memoir writers. I love her interview style. -Interview guests are a great mix of well-known and newer authors. -Every guest lists a handful of recommended memoirs to add to your TBR pile. I’m making my way through the older episodes and loving every one. Thank you, Ronit, for this amazing resource!

Love Ronit’s approach and thoughtful questions. I never tire of listening to her interviews.

Am loving this podcast. Ronit is compassionate and curious and asks all the right questions from her stellar line-up of guests! If you’re writing memoir, this podcast will add some fuel to your tank, to help you make it through the proverbial finish line! 🙌

I have been listening for a couple of months now and I too have learned so much as other reviewers have reported. It feels like I have entered a community where I am being schooled and supported . Many thanks

I learn so much from my time spent listening to Let’s Talk Memoir with host Ronit Plank. From how to process stuff that’s hard to write about, to reasons why it’s important to write it down. As a memoirist, I like knowing what’s out there, what works, and stories that readers are interested in and why.

Fantastic interviews and deep insights into writing and more.

I just heard about Ronit’s podcast. I started listening to the first episode this week while cleaning, and many episodes later, ideas for my own memoir project are blossoming…and my house is really clean! I love the variety of guests with their similarities and differences—reminders that there are as many kinds of memoirs as there are people writing them. Speaking of which: the memoirs each guest recommends are a trove. This podcast is not just a grand resource but a source of inspiring encouragement. Thank you, Ronit!

Thank you!!!!

I’ve been listening for a while but now I’m going back for episodes I’ve missed. I learn so much from Ronit and her guests. The only downside to this show is that I’m ordering too many books!

So grateful to have stumbled on this podcast, terrific guests and enlightening conversations.

Ronit Plank is shining a bright, white spotlight on memoir. Her intimate knowledge of the genre coupled with excellent interviewing skills allow memoir writers, lovers of memoir, and anyone who’s ever wondered what memoir is all about to gain insight. Her guests reveal vulnerable truths along with craft tips, their journeys to publishing, and books that inspired them. This is a professional, insightful podcast that’s not to be missed.

Thank you so much for creating it. It’s been so helpful on my journey of writing. I listen just about every day. It confirms that I’m on the right path and I’m not alone with my feelings about the experience. And having no experience with writing let alone an education on anything even close to it gives me the motivation and confidence to keep at it. Thanks again!

Finally, a memoir-themed podcast with an educated, skilled host who welcomes a spectrum of writers. The topics are so helpful to me in this stage of my writing career. I look forward to each new episode. Thank you, Ronit Plank.

Your show has moved the wheels to just write, when you write you can’t go wrong aside of grammatical errors hehe. I’ve enjoyed all the story telling and the questions you ask have me going, wow that’s a good question and I’m not just saying that to buy time like our fellow impressed memoirists haha thanks for making your life moving factor in all of us listeners, readers and incoming memoirists. I envision having the “nuts and bolts” conversation in the near future. With the Grace of God.

Ronit is an excellent interviewer who brings in an array of guests demonstrating wisdom and vulnerability in navigating some of the hardest situation in life. This podcast is a guiding light for those discerning how to share their life stories with love and hope—to help others know they’re not alone in hard places.

Wonderful in every way. Excellent interviews from an outstanding interviewer.

Ronit is an expert interviewer. Every episode of her show is packed with great conversations and so much wisdom. This is a must-listen for every memoirist.

This is a special podcast with a captivating host bringing us into the art forms of story telling in its most honest form. Love this niche group of writers and the power in their stories…..

There's something fun about this host. And I love hearing about the craft of memoirs and the stories themselves way more than just reading some interview. You get more personality! From Guests and the host.

I was delighted to be interviewed by Ronit for “Let’s Talk Memoir,” about my book The Long Field. In all truthfulness, it felt more like a conversation between old friends—two authors both passionate about writing and memoir and the ways in which life is lived and recalled—than a standard “so tell me about your book” interview. Perhaps that’s because of Ronit’s inherent warmth and perception, or because she’s a writer herself and that experience leads her to pose perceptive questions, or because she deeply prepared for our talk. Probably all of the above! I just know that I deeply enjoyed listening to other interviews she’s done and loved every minute of my own. I want to write another book quickly so we can talk again!

I’m so grateful for the “Let’s Talk Memoir” podcast. As a published memoirist, I’m happy to have found part of my “tribe” with the many and varied memoirists Ronit Plank has skillfully and thoughtfully interviewed. Writing and publishing a memoir can be, and often is, a very tricky, unnerving undertaking but also a tremendously satisfying one. Having the opportunity to listen to her guests, those who have come out on the other side, has made me feel even more affirmed as an author. Her podcast is also far reaching. Those who are lucky enough to be her guests will find that her podcast reaches readers who would otherwise not hear about their work. I’m thrilled to be counted among her many guests.

Let’s Talk Memoir is about the best podcast out there for everything memoir. Ronit Plank is kind, thoughtful, thorough, and a brilliant interviewer. I am lucky enough to have been one of her guests and was impressed by how prepared she was and delightful to speak with. Ronit is also a brilliant writer in her own right. I’ve learned so much her and from her guests and can’t recommend her podcast highly enough for writers and readers alike. Go forth and listen!

Each episode it is obvious how much thought and heart Ronit puts into her interviews. This is by far my favorite podcast because it demystifies the writer, the writing, and the task of publishing.

I had the opportunity to be interviewed on Ronit’s podcast. I love her authenticity. She’s curious and asks all the right questions to get not only the listeners tools and perspective to elevate their writer but insight into my own craft.

I started listening to this on my daily walks and quickly became hooked! It’s like bingeing TV shows but for writers. I love it. Ronit has such a diverse set of guests all with a unique variety of insights and advice for memoir writers, from theme, to scene, to drafts, to editing and more. Every episode is a great preview into the authors work, too. Each one feels like watching a movie trailer that makes you want to run out and see the film. Lastly, I just adore Ronit’s interview style. She makes her guest comfortable and asks questions in a way that gets them to open up about their process. You can tell she does her homework before each interview as well and I love the passages she asks the authors to read for the show’s listeners.

Listen this morning to Adiba Nelson with Ronit and am so grateful to have found this podcast. I am currently In the process of editing and rewriting draft manuscript. Hearing another author’s remedy for writing her challenges or her strategies in the midst of navigating life struck a cord. Thank you both for an insightful interview.

Thank you Ronit for this line-up of experts on memoir and writing, from Phillip Lopate to Allison Williams. Appreciate the insight on everything from the divided self to memory and number of drafts. Ordered my copy of Seven Drafts this morning!

Every single episode offers up some nugget that I need to hear, some concept I need to be reminded of, some memoirist’s anecdote that says Keep going, you’re on the right track!

I write for television and though this podcast focuses on writing memoir I find it so helpful. Every episode has great advice for writers of any kind and personal stories that draw you in.

Ronit hosts insightful interviews that explore the many challenges faced by writers of memoirs.
