Waffle - the bite sized podcast

EPISODE 10 And so - the end is near. And now we face...the final curtain. :( But don't cry too much we'll be back in a few months with season 2.  What? One last MASSIVE episode? Oh, ok then. Today's guest is the brilliant Hannah Gold talking about her brilliant books and three choices of her own that she read when she was younger. From rats, lions and ducks came the stories of whales, turtles, bears & huskies that we know and love from Hannah's back catalogue. Hannah also speaks candidly about her worries that she was somehow 'not good enough' before her first book deal and opens up on the insecurities you can have has as a young writer.  Mari Bowen will also be filling us in on a her choice from the Read for Empathy collection - a Catherine Johnson classic. We also pay tribute to the inimitable Brian Patten, who sadly signed off his final stanzas this week. What an inspiration to me and so many more. Raised by Writers, inspired by writers. The words live on. :) BOOKS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE Paul -Gargl
