Temple is the Pro's Pro
“David Temple is the pro’s pro, knowledgeable and engaging, and The Thriller Zone is always a blast—as both a guest and a listener. I never miss an episode.”

Great podcast in general
I enjoy this podcast. But I wish the guests were more diverse and not so homogeneous. There are so many thriller writers who are women and people of color, but they hardly ever get featured.

Congrats on an amazing run!
Three years, what a feat! Thank you so much for all you do...for readers, for writers, for fans of thrillers. And sure, take some time off, but please hurry back...there are a lot of books out there and we need you!

David's a five star narrator who's easy to work with!
After hearing David on The Thriller Zone podcast I knew he was the right narrator to bring my book to life. The result is well beyond my expectation; he's a five-star narrator who's easy to work with. All my future projects will be with David.

Just when you think Temple's topped himself...
...he lands yet another impressive interview. YES, I love hearing from the "Big Authors," but I also appreciate this host taking time to introduce us to new authors. Thank you!

The Thriller Writing Masterclass
Whether you're a student of the genre or just a fan, there's no better place to be than the Thriller Zone! While numerous shows offer a front-row seat to today's best thriller writers, only one delves as deeply into their minds and craft as the Thriller Zone. Mr. Temple is working with a different toolbox than any other interviewer; he's a master at his game. I implore you to check out this show. As a student of the genre myself, it truly feels like I'm taking a masterclass.

How does Temple do it?
THIS is the podcast that ANYONE who enjoys reading crime/mystery/suspense thrillers should listen to. Just look at Dave's guests: they're the biggest AND the best. Thanks, #TZ

Top Shelf Podcast
This is the best listen for fans of thrillers, books, and podcasts in general. David Temple provides insight into the work and entertainment for the listener, all while providing space for the guest to get into the action. I’m an avid listener and occasional guest who will come back as often as he’ll have me!

Best new-ish podcast ever
It’s been years since I was an obsessive reader of mystery/thriller novels, but The Thriller Zone has revived my addiction. I’m ordering too many books, but I can’t help it. The authors interviewed are too interesting, the conversations led by host David Temple too engaging. I blame him.

Top Notch!
Just discovered this podcast and have to say top notch! These interviews are invaluable, especially if you're a writer like me. Really enjoyed the Koontz and Kent Krueger ones especially. Keep up the amazing work David!

It’s a Thrill in the ThrillerZone!
Host David Temple, author, actor and radio legend, does an outstanding job with these interviews. These aren’t out of David’s bunker basement - they’re done by a pro, and he gets the big authors to open up with his trademark approach that is funny, poignant, and productive. You’ll enjoy these interviews, and if you’re a writer, they’ll help.

Always a great conversation!
The Thriller Zone is an auto-listen for me. I love hearing more about the author’s new book, but it’s the expertly excavated behind-the-scenes information about David Temple’s guests that keeps me tuning in. David’s doing more than helping author’s sell books. He’s creating connections. Highly recommended!
