I love the show and eagerly await each new episode!
Love these conversational interviews with great authors. Came to this podcast late but am happy to have a big library of episodes to catch up with now. Jenna is very personable and you can feel her excitement to bring these authors to her audience. The episode with Judy Blume was excellent, as a devoted Judy Blume fan I loved hearing directly from Judy and I felt like she and Jenna had a bond. I could hear Jenna’s love and enthusiasm and it made me feel happy
Diversifying my pods - less worldly dismal news, more this! What a welcome addition! Happy to discover that I read some of these books, which made me feel great : ) Was most surprised by the Yarros interview - I was vehemently against anything romance/fantasy, etc. I won’t read it, but hearing her story was fascinating. … and that’s the whole point - broaden your horizons and be nice!
