We are moving into the new year with optimism, because it's so needed right now. Congrats to Yes, We Are Open, the branded series from Moneris, https://www.moneris.com/en/blog/categories/topics/yes-we-are-open-podcast, which won the 2024 Canadian Podcast Award in the Best Branded Series category. So thankful to the Canadian Podcast Awards for nominating us, and looking forward to hopefully trying again next year. We cover a lot of books, and movies this month. And announce our reading goals for the new year. Follow us on Storygraph to see how we do!
