Thoughtful Nuanced Discussions
The more episodes I hear, the more thankful I am for this podcast. The discussions really explore the complexities of how women move and live in the world of kidlit. Anyone with any connection to kidlit should be listening.
Everyone needs to listen to the podcast
I would say everyone in kidlit needs to hear this, but it’s not just for kidlit folks. It’s for all people who want to be better humans. These essays and discussions are so important and I’ve learned so much already. I’ve started conversations with others about what I’ve learned, shared books I’ve heard about, and thought of many things in new ways. Do yourself a favor and subscribe to this and listen weekly. You won’t regret it!
Very relatable
I have no relationship with the book world (besides reading books of course ) but as the parent of a kid who loves to read and learn about what ignorant people think are not for her it’s very comforting that there are people out there looking out for kids and the creators she enjoys reading
