Customer Reviews
Delighted with new format
I’m a Canadian living abroad and listening to the Next Chapter podcast each week was a great pleasure. I’m so disappointed that they’ve changed them so we can only hear one author interview. No panel. No ‘if you liked this...’. I miss it terribly.
Update! They changed it back - so happy to have Shelagh back in my life ❤️
