0:00.0 | I'm back and the question is, do I remember how to make a podcast after such a long break? I hope |
0:22.5 | the answer is yes and welcome to On the Ledge Podcast, episode 208. Just in case you're |
0:31.0 | new around here, my name's Jane Perrault and this is On the Ledge podcast, the podcast for people who are besotted with houseplants. |
0:42.4 | Happy New Year, am I still allowed to say that in February? Well, it's the first time you've |
0:47.0 | heard for me in 2022, so I think I am. Apologies if I sound a little bit hoarse this week. |
0:53.9 | I am recovering from a thing called |

1:46.3 | It's probably not that great for a podcast where you can't see me. |
1:51.4 | But anyway, I'm very happy to have the manuscript done. |
1:54.2 | I don't have a date yet for it to come out. |
1:59.2 | A publication date. |
2:00.7 | That's the right word for it. As soon as I do have one, |
2:03.7 | I will be sharing that with you. And thank you to all of you who have pledged recently and all |
