If you're interested in creative writing or reading critically, I highly recommend the Writing Excuses podcast [0]. The podcast was started by Brandon Sanderson (he wrote the Mistborn series as well as The Stormlight Archive), Howard Tayler (he made the webcomic Schlock Mercenary), and Dan Wells (he wrote I Am Not a Serial Killer). The episodes are on the short side (15 minutes), but I find that it strikes a nice balance between feeding you information and giving you something to ruminate over.

There are 5 hosts in the current season (I am admittedly a bit bummed that Sanderson isn't participating right now as a main host), with a comprehensive range of perspectives across media. For example, DongWon Song[1] is a literary agent and former editor, while Mary Robinette [2] is a puppeteer, short story writer, and a voice actress.

As a little bonus (with longer-form content), Brandon Sanderson has a series of recorded lectures from his 2020 college creative writing course [3]. He does a nice deep-dive into the minutiae of constructing a story from start to finish, with additional considerations for publishing near the end. I have to admit I'm a little biased as I'm trying to write more in my free time, but the lectures offer a lot even for those who don't write or plan to write. Just getting a closer look inside the mind of an author has greatly impacted the way I read and scrutinize books.
