I really love everything KWD does but this one is my absolute go-to. She uses her platform to interview other authors, there go giving their books a chance to increase their audiences! I’ve bought/read so so many of these wonderful books. That would have never been on radar without this podcast. (Im also partial because I’m a Texas gal too!)
