Attentive listeners will notice this is NOT the podcast in which we review Quan Berry’s book We Ride Upon Sticks, and also that one of us Jennys is absent from it. Whiskey Jenny is taking a short podcast break (everything is fine! she just needed a pause!), but since we both want you to have cheery quarantine content to enjoy, I am pressing on, with the assistance of some kind and helpful guest hosts. Today I’m welcoming Friend of the Podcast Renay to chat about the media we’re consuming in quarantine, how the heck to recommend comfort reads effectively, and TJ Klune’s new fantasy novel The House in the Cerulean Sea. You can listen to the podcast in the embedded player below, or download it directly to take with you on the go!
Here are the time signatures if you want to skip around!
