So looking forward to this episode. Michael Rosen is indeed a national treasure ❤️

That hobnob sketch still makes me cry with laughter!

Gosh, Hattie you did well to hold on during Michael Rosen's episode - I was crying into the soap suds while washing up! I've actually not wanted to read Many Kinds of Love because I just know it'll upset me so much (even though I know it'll inevitably leave me feeling grateful, hopeful, etc. at the end - I might be too upset to notice!) This was a really wonderful episode - I didn't want it to end! When I realised you were going into your final questions I said 'oh no' to my sink. Congrats on another fantastic series.

Hi Hattie, I have loads of questions on the podcast, but here are three. Maybe you could answer one of them.

An episode must take a lot of research, time spent contacting people to invite them on, following up, arranging the interviews, editing, etc. seems like a lot of work. How much time, on average does an episode take to produce? At a high level, how, typically, do you get from “that person would make a great guest for the podcast” to a finished episode?

If there was an episode of In Writing with Hattie Crissel, with Hattie Crissel, who would you like to interview you?

What prompted you to start each episode by asking the writer to describe their own workspace?

As far as I know, we don't have Hobnobs. Our loss for sure.
