It's a Podcast! Blue Room, Ears Edition

It’s a podcast!

I’m excited to announce the launch of my podcast, called (what else?) The Blue Room with MaryAnn McKibben Dana. The pod had a soft launch last week because, while the program went live right away in many directories such as Spotify and Stitcher, it took a while longer for Apple and Google to list it. But it’s in both of those places now! Search your favorite podcast app—”blue room maryann” should get you there.

“Live and learn” is the guiding ethos for this enterprise--we’re very much figuring this out as we go. The first episode is a tight fifteen minutes and is an excerpt from last year’s inaugural Hope Notes exploring Laura Ingalls Wilder’s novel The Long Winter, with some new thoughts from me. I’m excited to upgrade my recording equipment and make other improvements. That said, I’m eternally grateful to and impressed with my daughter Caroline Dana, who did all the editing and production work and selected music. We were pretty excited to get this first one under our belts:

It would mean so much to me if you would subscribe, rate, and share with others. The Blue Room will have a new episode every two weeks.

Also, don’t forget to register for the next Hope Notes on February 8. We’ll be talking about Disney’s Encanto.
