| 0:14.3 | This is episode 330, and we're recording on May 24th. |
| 0:17.9 | I'm Amanda Nelson, and I'm here with Jen Northington and we are coming to you |
| 0:20.9 | from Book Riot for the last time. Yeah, big news today y'all. Big news. Yeah. I guess I should |
| 0:31.4 | take it because it's kind of my doing. So I, after a decade, have taken a new position at another company. And so, you know, |
| 0:42.1 | I gave my notice a few weeks ago and Jen and I have been talking about, you know, with the editorial |
