This month I had the absolute pleasure of guesting on Down the Yellow Brick Pod with Tara Tagliaferro and Emily Kay Shrader as they jumped into the third Oz book, "Ozma of Oz". I did this as an audiobook last year and loved it, so revisiting it with two self-proclaimed Oz nerds was an absolute joy. If you aren't aware of Tara and EmKay's podcast but you love Oz, you really need to listen - go back to their first season where they went through the original novel in detail, or their second season where they dissected the 1939 MGM movie...

Hello! Very excited to start releasing the next audiobook soon, "A Little Princess" by Frances Hodgson Burnett. In the meantime, this is just a very quick word about my approach to these classic texts when it comes to problematic views such as racism, sexism and so on.

However, if you're listening to these books which were all written at least 70...
