The final episode of the Wizards, Warriors & Words podcast!
Video Overview & Insights
Wizards, Warriors & Words has come to an end, and we've gathered together for our final episode to wish you all farewell. Tears are shed, laughs are had, and, as expected, chaos ensues...
Wow, I can’t believe it’s over. Like many people this podcast has been a huge inspiration to me, I’ve written three books since I started listening. I always wanted to become a patron, I guess I’ll just have to support you all by buying all your books.
Cheers boys, you’re all legends.
Thank you all for listening and supporting the show—without you, we wouldn't have gotten this far. - Love, Jed, Mike, Dyrk and Rob.

TIMESTAMPS:
I was listening to the podcast on spotify and was suprised that the show was ending. I decided to watch the rest of the last episode on youtube. I did not imagine you guys looked this way. Thanks for the tips and advice, it helped me pick up where I left off on my story. Best of luck to future endeavors.

Farewell gents. Thank you for the time and insights 🙂
6:01 - Why we're ending the show
14:58 - How our writing careers have evolved
I just found you and now this...only listened to 3 podcast episodes so far and will continue to do so until I cant anymore. Thank you!
18:48 - A thank you to our Patrons and listeners
28:52 - Our highlights from the past two years
I am very sad to see this pod/videocast end, even though I understand the insanity of being busy and trying to coordinate 4 people’s schedules. This podcast got me back into writing after a several year hiatus, and in addition to providing a ton of advice, gave me the push to stick with a long-term novel draft that I’ll hopefully be wrapping up in the next few months. I’ve also gotten a number of book recommendations and new authors to follow from your podcast (including all of the hosts books). Thank you all so much for this podcast, I’m sure I speak for many people when I say the writing community was lucky to have such a great mix of advice, banter, support, and chaos. Best of luck to you all
36:06 - Did we learn anything from doing this podcast?
37:18 - Last words/Outro
Just listening to this latest podcast, gonna miss y’all! I have learned so much from watching you banter with each other. Still very much a beginner but anytime I feel stuck in my writing i throw on one of these videos and I definitely get my groove back. Wish you all the best in you futures and hope to see some more podcasts when things are less hectic!

I'm devastated, but good things do come to an end... This show has been my favourite podcast EVER. A huge thank you to MIKE, ROB, DYRK and especially JED... there were many times you had me burst out laughing, unable to turn the podcasts off - you four had such exciting energy, chemistry and you were friends! Like - over the podcast, I felt like I watched four people become closer to four best buddies!
The times you impersonated each other, made fun of Jed for pronouncing words weirdly. The CHAOS Episodes were so FUN. Yet even the small moments when you lifted one another up. You 4 were so REAL.
To me, all of it was advice. Even if you don't call it that, 4 funny, crazy working writers in one call explaining why they do this crazy thing of writing imaginary worlds HELPED ME. I wrote and finished my own novel as I was being inspired by you.
And you really got the podcast far - the amazing guests you've had on, including Jed's heroes, Rob's heroes... MIKE, THE MUSIC!!! I FKN LOVED THE INTROS they got me so hyped!
You 4 have done such a wonderful job, and are wonderful human beings... will be following all your careers. Wish you the best!!!

I've gone from wanting to be a writer to being a writer and your podcast has been instrumental in helping me do that. That learning curve sure is steep. Thanks, guys.

So gutted this is ending! Thank you for everything you guys have done. It's been a blast watching you, cracking up with your banter, getting writing advice, and new books to read. Hoping your author careers are bigger and brighter going forwards. I'll have to re-watch the back list for my WWW kick now ;)

More User Perspectives
why is it the last? Was this planned?
@BOIZADASAh man. Totally understand why you guys had to end. No longer grumpy about it after listening. But will miss the podcast!
As for books released since august 2020... that would be 9 under my name, and 3 ghostwritten. So 12. Holy crap.
Wish you all the best!
Mega sad to see/hear you guys go. I started writing my book back in April, and this was by far the best writing advice podcast on Spotify. You've taught me a lot through your back catalogue and I'll keep listening to old episodes even after the end. Thank you for all your work and effort. Sending you some genuine love for making writing and nerdom that bit more accessible
@ApolloBSGThanks so much for all the great content. Really bummed that its over. I finished writing my first novel with this show as a guiding light - if I ever manage to get the damn thing published this show and you guys will be getting a huge shoutout. Thanks again.
@timfyuks2896Clearly the show had too much Joe Abercrombie for the world to handle.
@joelminty3829Gutted to see you guys end the podcast. It's been a blast and I've enjoyed every episode.
@englishhomesteadVery sad, but thank you for everything.
@stevenpremmel4116I started writing an idea I had for book, you 4 encouraged me to get started.
@markcoulter5858Damn I looked forward to this every Monday. Inspiring definitely
@NeutralizedNewsVery disappointed, but thank you all for the entertainment and all the book related advice over the years. Will be looking forward to your new books in years to come.
@markcoulter5858Now it’ll take me thirty minutes to decide what I’ll listen to on my car rides.
@hahqrthjkWhere am I going to get my doze of crazy now?
@15blacjacI've greatly enjoyed listening to you boys every Monday. I can definitely say this podcast pushed me to start my current project and to get more involved in the indie community online. Thank you for everything!
@patrickthomas9567I will miss you guys, though I am sure I will chat with at least one of you in the future, which sounds very stalky!
@feralgamersincrpgBeen watching for a while, was so happy seeing you guys getting some traction. But i understand, hopefully we'll here from you guys once in a while on some other podcast. Thanks for all the good work!
@saeedajaibThanks for all the hard work and great words, fellas! Without this podcast I doubt I would have been motivated to continue writing through the past three (VERY LONG) years. And I still have all the rest of your books to read, which will ease the separation anxiety.
@JohnWinkelmanWell done, gentlemen. Farewell.
@TonyGizerMan I'm really going to miss all the banter. This was my favorite writing podcast because of it. Wish you all well.
@NicholasFullerBummer
@osoisko1933Been watching for a while and it's been great. Do a 5 year interview again, would be fun to see. Thank you all!
@EjDantesThanks guys!
@nickcarlson2708Its over fucking come on
@univeriseman8008Very sad day, but I wish the best for you all an dlook forward to reading future novels.
@luisdall5575Sad to see it ending, only been here for 6 months or so but WWW has become a great staple of my Monday WFH routine.
I’ve learned so much and enjoyed the chaotic banter, will keep up with all of you guys socials for sure.
Thanks, and best of luck wherever your life takes you!
What? I literally just started watching/listening to the podcast.
@atharvadeshpande4749Hoping this is a sick joke. It would fit you guys' sense of humor for sure.......or that might be my cope.
