This podcast asks all the follow-up questions I’ve wished I could ask of my favorite Laura Ingalls Wilder authors and researchers. Sandra Hume is such a personable and informed interviewer that she makes me feel like I’m in the room too. I’m so excited to hear from even more experts I didn’t know I needed to know!

And the host is sup... more
