The InBetween Stories Podcast

In today’s episode, I speak with Ellen Labrecque, a children’s author who has written over 100 books, including titles in the Who Was? and Who Is? series. She also works as a librarian at Princeton Day School. Through her work, she brings the lives of both historical figures and celebrities in a way that is engaging and accessible for younger readers. We discuss her journey into writing, the experiences that shaped her work, and what it means to bring real-life stories to young readers today.For more information about Ellen’s work and writing, check out her website here.

Stories are everywhere—in the books we read, the films we watch, and the conversations we have. In this debut episode of The InBetween Stories Podcast, I speak with Yassine Ait Ali, founder and organizer of Princeton’s annual French Film Festival.We explore the origins of the festival, the community it has built, and how it brings French cinema and culture to life through conversation.For more information and to register, check out the festival's website here.
