My first podcast & I love it! Great dynamic between Olivia & Manda. I’m sure they could talk for hours about these books & how much they love them. Fun to listen to & I enjoy the show.
I love the dynamic between Olivia and Manda! You can tell they love what they do. Their shows are well-researched and fun to listen to. Maybe that’s because they’re librarians.
This podcast feels like sitting in a coffee shop with friends chatting about nostalgia and some of my fav books. Funny, smart, and approachable.
