Hey all! We had technical difficulties (and by technical difficulties I mean problems with our children 😂) last week, so this week we are giving you a MEGASODE of Little House of The Dragon!
We start out with an apology to you all for failing you, which turned into a fun little 20 min segment. Then after that you get to hear (key word there is "hear" as we did not record video) the Instant Reaction we recorded for episode 4 but had to cut short due to our sweet Laura James' eyes hurting her😭
After that, we do our normal deepdive of episode 4 which is followed immediately by episode 5!
Because I upload the same video here as I do on Youtube, at the very end is a promo for my Substack… me reading Chapter 3 of Here We Rest… most of you have already heard it, but if you havent, hey hey! two birds, one stone!
Lady Kirby and I had a BLAST hanging out all day and podcasting and it shows cause we get in the weeds quite a bit lol (in a way that will entertain you, I have no doubt!)
Details for the episode are below… love y'all and have a great rest of your weekend!
