Testimonials

"I’ve done countless radio shows and podcasts, but Susan Wingate’s 'Dialogue: Between the Lines' is one of my favorites. Why? Because she’s in the trenches with us. She understands writers.  Her questions are insightful, the banter fun, and she has a knack for making me say things I’d never thought I’d say out loud. What more could you ask from an interviewer? If she served coffee, I’d never leave her house."
- —James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author
"I’ve done my share of radio shows over the years. Some of them have been silly. Others have been plain dull, especially when the interviewer never takes the time to read any of your work. But Susan Wingate’s 'Dialogue' is quickly becoming the Charlie Rose of Blog Talk Radio. Insightful, informed, and always prepared, it’s no wonder Susan’s show is featuring only the most important movers and shakers in the contemporary literary world.
- —Vincent Zandri, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Remains and The Ashes
"Susan Wingate is that rarest of interviewers in that she comes to the process without an ego. She provides thoughtful questions that evoke thoughtful answers and she never gets in the way. I get interviewed a lot and there are more than several interviewers who are clearly there to hear their own voices. Not Ms. Wingate! She simply brings out the best of her guests. I’d go on her show anytime, anywhere."
