After listening to the recent fascinating episode with Gayle Forman, I’ve been binge listening to past episodes. Such great conversations for anyone who wants to help kids look to books to expand their world.

I really love this podcast. I discovered it recently and have started from the begging. As a creative I love hearing the process and recs of other creatives. Jordan has thoughtful questions and really listens to her guests, which creates such rich conversations. I recommend this to my fellow creative all the time.
