Please…shut up with the constant “yes” thrown in. You don’t have to add that after every sentence your guest says. Geez!!
Great podcast! Jenna is warm and kind and is a true book lover.
I look forward to each episode. The book joy and appreciation for authors and the process of writing is overflowing. I don’t know how you do it all, Jenna!
Your time with Malala was so beautiful, tender, filled with care and absolutely no sensationalism. Every minute was a rare jewel with such eloquent words and thought. I treasure it and will listen again. I’m hoping to bring this interview into my classroom as well! This was my first time listening, Jenna, and I plan to continue! Keep up the tremendous story telling! I’m intrigued as to what book you are giving her!
The episode with Kate DiCamillo is priceless! Thank you, Jenna for spotlighting this national literary treasure. Her books are for people and kids of all ages.
