Our First-Ever Year in Review Episode

December 24, 2018 by Travis Jonker   3 comments

Travis: A couple nights ago, Colby and I did something we’ve never done before: with recorders running, we talked about the year in children’s books. I wasn’t sure how it would go – we usually put out short episodes that are edited and produced. Typically, aside from the intros and outros, you almost never hear our voices.

Not this episode.

This is an hour of Colby and I chatting off-the-cuff about the good, the bad, and the unforgettable in 2018.

We hope you enjoy the episode.

    I finally got a chance to listen to this one. Your full “bro cast” was great fun. While I love the interview subject-dominated, concise nature of your typical shows, this was a refreshing change. Can’t wait for the second annual edition, and I can’t wait to see how many of your award predictions are spot on.
