Dear friends and fellow readers,

Julia's baby has arrived earlier than expected and caught us off-guard so there is no show for this week. We have also decided to take the month of May off to give Julia and her family a chance to settle into life together.

We will be back with another chatty episode on June 10, 2026. Until then, may you enjoy many hours of happy reading accompanied by many of delicious drinks.

We are so grateful for each of you!
