How are you all doing? I’m in Deep Summer - nothing much is getting done, and I’m not sure what day it is. Oh, and also I broke my toe yesterday by walking into a speaker that has always been there. So I’m now limping quite a lot. Next week’s retreat in Cornwall cannot come soon enough! As you know, we’re re-releasing some listener favourites from Season 1 of the Wintering Sessions over the summer while we reinvent the podcast for it’s next phase. This week, we have one of my favourite people, @leahhazard, who talks about the wanted and unwanted change in her midwifery career. I’m currently blessed with a proof copy of Leah’s next book, Womb, and it’s absolutely brilliant. She’s such a passionate, wise and erudite writer, and I think that shines through in this interview. Listen where you get your podcasts 🤍 My thanks to the Patreons who make all this possible - this month, their bonus episode is a conversation between me and @jynnne my editor at @riverheadbooks, in which we talk about the process of brining Wintering into the world. I learned some things I didn’t know - and I loved Jynne’s unique way of adressing the book bans that are currently happening in some US schools and libraries. I’m even more proud to work with her now ☺️ There’s a subscriber link in my bio... #ukpodcast #bookpodcast #bookish
