    Colby: Last week Travis shared an episode of Longform with me that featured Fresh Air’s Terry Gross. Many people consider her the greatest interviewer in the universe.

    Not On The Yarn: Laurel Snyder

    Colby Sharp, December 20, 2016 | Not on The Yarn

    Colby: I listen to a lot of podcasts. A lot. It is always fun to hear children’s literature creators featured on shows that are not about children’s literature.
