Welcome to a very special episode of Writes4Women. Last week I had the pleasure of recording this episode with Dani Vee, Claudine Tinellis, Ashley Kalagian Blunt and Allison Tait. Those of you who love to listen to writing and reading podcasts might recognize some of those names.  We were getting together to celebrate the 400th episode of the Words and Nerds podcast produced and hosted by Dani Vee. It was really such a pleasure to be able to celebrate this occasion with Dani. She's a prolific podcaster, a fabulous author, reader, and promoter of Australian writing.  Dani chose to release this episode on the anniversary week of her very, very special podcast. She also very kindly offered for us to release the episode on our own feeds, and I thought this would be a great opportunity for you to hear from myself and the other podcasters on why we do what we do, and how we do it.   Congrats to Dani! I hope you enjoy the episode.
