Surprise! Just when you thought we weren't making any more podcasts this season we decided to drop in with one more. I don't know if you saw it on our social media but our local TV station interviewed us not one time but two times!!. we've got a lot of new followers and a lot of people excited to follow the life of Elisabeth. So, we thought if you've never listened to the earlier episodes this would be a great way for you to catch up. (we really would prefer you go back and binge them cuz we worked so hard on those episodes and we love them so much.) Also if you've been listening since day one this will be a great time for you to recap and remember some of the things that maybe you forgot about as we join Elizabeth next year in 1936. if you would like to watch us do this podcast head over to our Patreon, we recorded us sitting in Liz's house snuggled up with some hot chocolate talking about the diary. it's the same episode but this time you can see us. Also, consider giving us a follow while you're over there, and don't forget to review this podcast that's what keeps us able to bring them to you!
