All technical writers have one thing in common: their peers outside of the industry believe technical writing is a boring career. They think we lack creativity; they think we only eat tuna salad for lunch; and they think our work is reserved to instructional manuals that they don't even use. This podcast gives you the tools to prove them wrong! In each episode we talk to the humans behind the docs, sharing stories, experience and expertise to inspire, entertain, and give you knowledge and skills you can use in your life as a not-boring tech writer.
