Episode 54 is a two year anniversary celebration! Gen and Jette sit down over another cup of tea to chat about the past two years of podcasting. It’s hard to believe it’s been two years since we sat at Page One cafe and decided we’d make a podcast. Since then, we recorded 53 episodes (almost 7 days worth of minutes) and had over 3500 listens in 52 different countries. We have a shiny new website with multiple blog posts every month. We’ve worked with wonderful publishers, like House of Anansi Press, Coach House Books, and Wattpad Books.
In this episode we chat favourite episodes, what we’ve learned, and what we’re looking forward to. Of course, we also talk about what we’ve been up to and about some of our favourite reads the past few months.
Thank you to all of our listeners that have been with us the last two years and welcome to all our new listeners! We appreciate you more than we can say and we can’t wait to create more bookish content for you! If there’s anything you want to see more of from us, please let us know in the comments below or email us at hello@anotherbookontheshelf.com
