Hey friendos! If you've stuck with us this long (or are coming to the show in the future) then you know we've been doing this new thing with Rachel Aanstad called Foolish Wits! It's a little lighter, with fewer guests, and a lot more Shakespeare talk. I haven't ended this show (I still love talking with writers and getting deep into literature and such) but for now you can find me over at: http://anchor.fm/foolishwitspodcast
I have loved doing this show for the last seven years and would love to hear from you about what you like, what you'd like to see more of, guests you think I should have on, books you'd like me to cover, and so on. Hit me up at everythingisawesomepodcast@gmail.com and let's have a conversation! Until then, keep listening to all my shows:
