Welcome Anna!

Well, hi!

Oh my God, I am a big fan of this show.

I'm very shy right now.

I'm being shy. I feel shy. Thank you so much for having me and thank you for the

podcast. It's been so great to hear to full daddy's talking about their process.

So thank you.

Well, you're welcome.

You don't get what that means, but thank you.

You know what it means. Don't act, don't act like you don't.

It's such a compliment, Anna, for us, for you to like have that admission of like I'm feeling

vulnerable and shy on this show because like I'll speak personally, I feel kind of the same way because like I love your work and I've followed you on other shows and I love your writing so it's kind of a love fest like it's a really it's really fun to have you on the show.

Oh my god let's all just shmooze for an hour. I think that's what people need to hear right now.
