If you’re travelling this holiday season, The Yarn podcast makes a good companion. Probably even better than a human. But probably a little less better than, say, a cat. Still, better than a human is solid.

If you’re a writer, aspiring writer, or someone who loves to learn about an author’s backstory and process, you might dig our four part series with Genesis Begins Again debut author Alicia D. Williams. Click here to listen to Part I.

If you’re interested in how an award-winning writer for grown-ups decides to start writing for kids, our episode with Dave Eggers is a good one. Click here to listen.

And if you’re interested in laughing along to one of the greatest author visit stories ever, you should listen to our episode with Bob Shea. Click here to listen.
