I have listened to 300+ podcast episodes on "writing."
Unfortunately, I only have found 5 that were truly helpful.
(The rest just said different variations of "Write from the heart!" over and over again.)
Save yourself the time.

1/ Deconstructing Best-Selling Books
@JamesClear was on @tferriss podcast recently, and they covered all sorts of different topics.
But there's ~30 min in here that's a masterclass on how to write a best-seller.
(Starts 1 hr 15 min in.)

2/ Demystifying The Publishing Industry
@RyanHoliday is one of my fav Category Design examples.
He dominates the Stoicism niche.
But in this @myfirstmilpod with @ShaanVP & @thesamparr he breaks down the economics of book publishing & author earnings.

3/ The Minimum Viability Threshold
In 2008, Dr. Kerry Spencer Pray (after publishing her 1st book) did a whole research study & wrote her PhD thesis on the qualities of a best-seller.
Fascinating data-backed breakdown every author should know about.

4/ The Other Side Of Success
Not as much "actionable" advice in here, but an incredible look at how @IAmMarkManson thinks about writing after the success of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck (selling 15M+ copies).
TL;DR: pub deals are overrated.

5/ Overcoming The Fear To Create
From waitress to one of the best-selling non-fiction authors of all time, Elizabeth Gilbert talks about how challenging it was to follow the success of her book:
Eat, Pray, Love.
Not a podcast but still a personal fav.
