  • Best podcast ever!

    I first met Amy at ASSL in Tampa in 2023. I have been listening to her podcast weekly ever since then. I have learned so much from listening to her and all of the amazing people that she interviews. Her podcast brings me great joy every time I listen to it.

  • Good information

    Lots of great information but too much advertising for book fairs or other sponsors.

  • Thank you!

    Amy Hermon’s expertise, honesty, and fantastic guests fueled my fire to pursue this career path. Thank you for the remarkable episodes that propelled me through graduate school studies, numerous walks/runs/bike rides, commutes to and from my first two years as a school librarian, and of course as I organize materials at home and school.
