Description
The Hope Prose podcast is dedicated to hope-filled books – the authors who write them and the readers they inspire. We upload new episodes once every two weeks and hope to leave our listeners with sparks to ignite their own stories–whether in real life or fictional. We want our podcast to be a place that inspires you to live a life of creative purpose through reading, writing, or maybe even singing. Words are kinda our thing. In our latest season, we are going back to the heart of why we write and interviewing authors who love hope-filled, deeply human stories as much as we do.
