Hello everybody and welcome to Books Unbound, the podcast where we Unbind Books to get to their hearts with your hosts us. It's Ariel and...

Raylene, what up? 2024 edition!

So exciting.

I'm really pumped.

I'm really pumped.

For people who are watching the video, you'll see I have a new camera angle.

New year, new me.

And I put a bunch of the stuff up on the wall yesterday, so it might look crazy.

I'm really excited to see it because obviously, Raylene and I can see each other when we record. But I can't exactly see what her camera can see. Yeah. But I'm sure it's going to look really nice. It's really fun because usually I'm recording from a different angle and get flipped. As I'm sure everybody notices who watches the video, my video is backwards. So now you're seeing the real me. You're seeing me the way I look in real life.

It's great. We had a little meeting a couple of days ago.

That was sort of a 2024.

The podcast is here.

What do we want to switch up?

What do we want to look at?

We looked at your stats again that you guys sent us because we asked you some

questions about the podcast and everything. And we, CJ, who. look at. We looked at your stats again that you guys sent us because we asked you some questions

about the podcast and everything. And we, CJ, who edits the podcast, my brother was at this meeting

because he's basically our producer. Like, he's the one who tells us like, you guys are not

talking loud enough or I can hear this or you need to fix this. And it's really, really helpful.

And he's honestly had some of the best ideas

for the podcast. I know. Seriously. We don't listen to the podcast. We don't listen to what that's the thing. We're here. We don't necessarily listen to it. Yeah, we're here. But like afterwards, he's the one who's actually making it a good show and he said to Raylene like, do you think it would be possible if you could film from the other perspective,

because right now I have to flip your thing backwards.
