Hey Safranim, I am excited to share with you my interview as a guest on The Children's Book Podcast, talking about the 20-year history of my own podcast, The Book of Life.

Of COURSE I’d have you on in a heartbeat, Heidi!” I was tickled by his enthusiasm, and we ended up having a wonderful conversation. Listening back, I hear myself talking much faster than I do on The Book of Life - a mark of how excited I was to chat with Matthew! We talked about the history and evolution of The Book of Life Podcast, adaptation to cultural moments, favorite guests, and more. I hope you’ll have as much fun listening (or reading the transcript, available at the link below) as I did recording it!
