    Ladies, having only discovered you online about a year ago, I was familiar with some of what you do, but not all. This was SUCH a delight listening to (as are all of Matthew's podcasts) and I'm SO happy to have learned so much more. It was funny how, when I kept hearing the name "Betsy Bird" I hadn't remembered/related it to the one event I was able to attend at the NYPL a few years back (“From the Page to the Screen…Television Screen, That Is”, presented by The Children’s Literary Café). Loved that and love the work you both do! Fantastic! Thank you so much :)
