Hello and welcome to Story Time for Grownups.

I'm Faith Moore, and this season we're reading David Copperfield by Charles Dickens.

Each episode I'll read a few chapters from the book,

pausing from time to time to give brief explanations, so it's easier to follow along.

It's like an audiobook with built-in notes.

So brew a pot of tea, find a cozy chair, what it happened. It's spring. For the last two days, it has been the most

glorious weather, and I swear I feel like a different person. I'm like walking on the streets,

smiling at everyone, I might just randomly break into song. I don't know. It's feeling like a musical

around here, but I keep looking at my weather app and it's telling me that it's not going to last,

that it's going to get cold again before it gets warm for good. And I think I'm just in denial about that. I'm going to just

pretend that that's not true. I'm going to enjoy this weather for as long as I can. And I actually

kind of think it goes with what we have been reading with the last chapter. I think this kind

of spring-like excitement is very apropos, don't you? So we're going to talk about that, but I actually have

two quick announcements that I want to make. The first is I always like to tell you if I've been on

somebody else's podcast, particularly if I'm talking about this podcast. And that happened fairly

recently. I was featured in a magazine called Women Who Podcast Magazine.

That is a magazine you have to buy, like a physical copy, of which you're welcome to do.

You can find it online, just do a Google search. And they did a whole profile of me, which was

very lovely. I'm very grateful. But also, if you want to kind of get the digest of it for free,

I was then interviewed on Instagram about Storytime for

grownups. So I've just included a link in the show notes to that interview if you're interested

in checking it out. I talk about story time and how amazing I think it is and how wonderful you guys
