Great conversations, great guests, and always new books added to my reading list. Zibby shines a light on the author behind the book and brings their stories to life.
I would like in the title to write out book and author and to have a larger book cover to see
Great interviews! Zibby asks super questions and has wonderful conversations with her guests. I always look forward to listening to this wonderful podcast
Not please to see she had Josie Balka on, who is part of a Trump supporting breeding cult. Absolutely not someone who needs a platform.
Collaborating with Jennifer Garner?? How disappointing.
