Once Upon a Time, There Was a Tara Trudel

Once Upon a Time, There Was a Tara Trudel

Once upon a time (whoa-oh), we had a chat with Tara Trudel (wait a minute, wait a minute, there must be more to the story).

Tara's take on music, entertainment, kidlit, marketing, and more is fresh and delightful. You know what else is fresh and delightful? Tara's album, FRACTURED: FAIRY TALES REMIXED, which debuted on May 5, just a few weeks ago! 

Tara Trudel is here. Josh is here, Brenna is here, and Jon is here! And our Linktree is here (please subscribe!).

Go stream FRACTURED: FAIRY TALES REMIXED right after you listen to this ep!

SPARKY! by Jenny Offill, illustrated by Chris Appelhans

Check out our sponsor The Kidlit Hive!

Check out our awesome quokka artist Maddie Frost!

And finally, if you'd like to support the podcast and ALSO want to celebrate a friend, an achievement, or a friend's kidlit achievement, we'd love it if you'd purchase a Community Shout-Out to help keep the lights on!
