I can drop 250 &#8211; 1,500 words on a blog entry about writing. I can make a 5-minute video about writing. Or&#8230;I can sit with a friend &#8212; another writer &#8212; and talk about writing for a whole hour.<\/p>\n<p>The Internet is cool: we all get to pick and choose what format we like best for taking in the information we seek.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230;if an hour-long podcast is your preferred medium, below are some podcasts I&#8217;ve been part of that are all about writing:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Last Seen...Being Critical\" href=\"http:\/\/www.meningorillasuits.com\/2013\/06\/28\/men-in-gorilla-suits-ep-21-last-seen-being-critical\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Last Seen...Being Critical\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meningorillasuits.com\/images\/thumbnails\/migs21thumb.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"245\" height=\"142\" \/><\/a>This episode is <a title=\"Last Seen...Being Critical\" href=\"http:\/\/www.meningorillasuits.com\/2013\/06\/28\/men-in-gorilla-suits-ep-21-last-seen-being-critical\/\">all about criticism<\/a>: how to take criticism, give criticism, and some personal stories about criticism we&#8217;ve faced as writers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Last Seen...Doing Research\" href=\"http:\/\/www.meningorillasuits.com\/2013\/05\/29\/migs17-last-seen-doing-research\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Last Seen...Doing Research\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meningorillasuits.com\/images\/thumbnails\/migs17thumb.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"245\" height=\"142\" \/><\/a>This episode is <a title=\"Last Seen...Doing Research\" href=\"http:\/\/www.meningorillasuits.com\/2013\/05\/29\/migs17-last-seen-doing-research\/\">all about writing research<\/a>: how we research, the problems with researching too much, and ways to keep your research in order.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Last Seen...Building Character(s)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.meningorillasuits.com\/2013\/05\/16\/migs15-last-seen-building-characters\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"MiGS 15: Last Seen...Building Character(s)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meningorillasuits.com\/images\/thumbnails\/migs15thumb.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"245\" height=\"142\" \/><\/a>This episode is <a title=\"Last Seen...Building Character(s)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.meningorillasuits.com\/2013\/05\/16\/migs15-last-seen-building-characters\/\">all about characters<\/a>: examples of good and bad characters, how we approach creating well-rounded characters, and which characters from fiction we want want on our side during the apocalypse!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Last Seen...Building New Worlds\" href=\"http:\/\/www.meningorillasuits.com\/2013\/03\/21\/migs-ep-07-last-seen-building-new-worlds\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Last Seen...Building New Worlds\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meningorillasuits.com\/images\/thumbnails\/migs07thumb.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"245\" height=\"142\" \/><\/a>This episode is<a title=\"Last Seen...Building New Worlds\" href=\"http:\/\/www.meningorillasuits.com\/2013\/03\/21\/migs-ep-07-last-seen-building-new-worlds\/\"> all about world building in writing<\/a>: examples of good and bad world building in fiction, world building in literary fiction, and the way we go about creating the places where are characters inhabit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Last Seen...Managing Time\" href=\"http:\/\/www.meningorillasuits.com\/2013\/05\/01\/migs13-last-seen-managing-time\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Last Seen...Managing Time\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meningorillasuits.com\/images\/thumbnails\/migs13thumb.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"245\" height=\"142\" \/><\/a>This episode is <a title=\"Last Seen...Managing Time\" href=\"http:\/\/www.meningorillasuits.com\/2013\/05\/01\/migs13-last-seen-managing-time\/\">all about managing time<\/a>.
