    In celebration of International Podcast Day (September 30th), we’re revisiting some of our (many!) favorite interviews from Season 9 of This Is the Author. We’ve found the humor in the difficult with Spencer Henry, Madison Reyes, and KB Brookins, we’ve enthused over children’s books with Chanel Miller and George Takei, and we’ve thought a little deeper with Anne Lamott. We love talking with our authors in the recording booth, and we know you'll enjoy hearing them in your headphones. Enjoy!
