The podcast is based on the world-famous Writers and Illustrators of the Future Contests created by L. Ron Hubbard in 1983, when he wrote, “A culture is as rich and as capable of surviving as it has imaginative artists. The artist is looked upon to start things.

“I am very fortunate to have had the Writers of the Future Podcast syndicated a few years ago on the United Public Radio Network,” stated the podcast host, John Goodwin. “Each episode is created with the exact purpose stated by Mr. Hubbard of injecting that spirit of life into a culture,” Goodwin continued.
Weekly shows routinely exceed 3.5 million listens, including this week’s episode #391 featuring Neo Edmund, actor, screenwriter, producer, and now bestselling author.
The Writers of the Future Podcast is a seven-time finalist in the People’s Choice Podcast Awards and a winner in the eLit Awards. When asked what he owed the podcast’s success, Goodwin stated, “I do an immense amount of homework in preparation for a show. If it’s an author, I read at least one full book by them. For any guest, I first attempt to learn as much as possible about them and then coordinate questions we will discuss in advance.” Goodwin concluded, “Ultimately, I have stayed true to the purpose of Writers of the Future, and this is my greatest source of success.”

L. Ron Hubbard initiated the Writers of the Future Writing Contest [LINK: www.writersofthefuture.com] in 1983 to provide “a means for new and budding writers to have a chance for their creative efforts to be seen and acknowledged.” Based on the success of the writer contest, its sister contest, Illustrators of the Future, was created five years later to provide that same opportunity for aspiring artists.
The Contests’ success is evident in the accomplishments of their winners. The 583 writing contest winners and published finalists have written over 8,000 novels and short stories, with sales topping 60 million copies. The 430 illustrating contest winners have contributed to over 700 books, 500 comics, and 130 major motion pictures, gaming feature films, TV shows, and documentaries.
