Hi Annie, I love love love your podcast. It’s my favorite. But as a previous reviewer stated the multiple ads are proving very frustrating for me. I understand why you need ads, but I’m wondering if you could replay the weekly podcast on your patreon page without ads. (I’m sorry, but I just fast-forward through them anyway). I’m not currently a Patreon, but I would join just to hear you without ads. Keep up the great work with your fabulous team. Mary
This is always the show I look forward to the most each week but I have noticed in the last couple months the amount of ads has skyrocketed and the placement of them is very frustrating because sometimes they fall right in the middle of the conversation. I doubt there is anything I could say that would encourage the reduction of ads but could we move them to the beginning or the end so it doesn’t ruin the listening experience? If that’s possible that would be lovely. Thanks much. Read on!
Love your book and this podcast!!! I hope you will write more books!!
Annie’s book knowledge and laughter - a great combination.. I especially enjoy when she talks to her mom, I always get helpful recommendations from her.
Listening to From the Front Porch is my comfort-cast. I appreciate the bookish discussions, recommendations and above all else the calming voices from a southern bookstore that helps a stressed out woman in beautiful Northern Michigan. Thank you!!
