About this episode

This is a regular series here on the show — and in this one, Tsh talks to her good friend, Emily P Freeman. She’s a fellow writer and podcaster, and she’s got a new book of the same name (it might be Tsh's favorite of hers yet).

Emily’s been on this show a few times; the last time was last summer after she & Tsh co-led Literary London and they debriefed about our experience. In this chat, Emily shares with us 4 things currently making everything a little bit better in her life.

In the episode's third segment, since it’s the start of a new month, as always Tsh talks with Haley Stewart about what’s in store for us in the liturgical calendar in April.
