I hope you enjoy this final episode of the π˜™π˜¦π˜’π˜₯π˜ͺπ˜―π˜¨π˜‰π˜Ίπ˜Šπ˜’π˜―π˜₯𝘭𝘦𝘭π˜ͺ𝘨𝘩𝘡 podcast. I’m so grateful I was able to finish with the author who was the very first person I ever interviewed for the podcast - and my first interview 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 - my wonderfully talented friend and bestselling author π—π—Όπ——π—Άπ˜…π—Όπ—»πŸ₯°

Jo featured in the Book Boxes in January 2023 and January 2024, and was also the featured author in the 2025 RBC Advent Calendar. She is the only author to be featured three times!Β 

In this episode, we talk in depth about Jo’s third book, π˜ˆπ˜‹π˜ͺ𝘴𝘒𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘒𝘳π˜ͺ𝘯𝘨𝘈𝘀𝘡(no spoilers!), how her writing has evolved since her debut, and what the past three years have meant to her as an author.

I got a little teary at the end, thanks to Jo’s beautiful words about the podcast. It’s bittersweet to say goodbye, but I couldn’t have imagined a more fitting way to wrap things up - ending where it all began, with Jo. πŸ₯Ή

I’ll share a proper thank-you post in a few days to reflect on three years of hosting the podcast and what it has meant to me. 🀍
