0:00.0	Welcome to From the Front porch, a conversational podcast about books, small business, and life in the South.
0:08.0	Anyway, the host ends every episode by saying, joy is coming. I think it's a quote from a book or something, I don't know, but she says it every week. Joy is coming. That's the full.
0:36.0	You just got to keep your eyes open and look for it. Make sure not to fall. Emma Straub, this time tomorrow.
0:45.0	I'm Annie Jones, owner of the bookshelf, an independent bookstore in beautiful downtown Thomasville, Georgia, and this week we're chatting around the kids' table.
0:54.0	One of our main goals as you know for 2022 is to grow the show to 10,000 listeners and each week we're getting closer and closer to that goal. Right now we are a community of about 7 to 8,000, which is amazing and honestly about 8,000 more than I ever envisioned.
1:09.0	The best way to grow the show though is to have all of you lovely listeners leave a review on Apple podcasts. All you have to do is open up the podcast app on your phone, look for from the front porch, look for our pretty new logo, then scroll down until you see right a review and tell us what you think.
1:25.0	Here's a recent review from a listener in Colorado. Annie and her crew at the bookshelf is something I look forward to every week.
1:32.0	So many book recommendations that I never would have discovered without their thoughtful, fun, and witty reviews. Thank you for being a bright spot in my week.
1:40.0	Thank you Colorado. I am so grateful to all of our lovely listeners who have begun to leave their reviews, your kind words mean a lot and they help us to remember why we do what we do.
1:50.0	Now back to today's conversation.
1:53.0	The kids table is our seasonal episode series where I am joined by my friend cousin and former colleague Ashley Sherlock together.
2:00.0	We make up members of our own families kids table and we're bringing those conversations to you each season to tell you what we're reading, watching, listening to, and buying.
2:10.0	Hi Ashley. Hello. Hi. Do you know that I think I had to explain to a listener a little while ago that the kids table episodes were not about kids literature?
2:22.0	Oh, I hope they weren't disappointed.
2:25.0	No, I think they were actually excited and it occurred to me that maybe it was bad marketing to name this the kids table, but I really, I really love the name.
2:34.0	I mean, I think the name is fitting, but I do understand where this person might have been coming from.
2:40.0	I totally do too. And the book podcast.
2:43.0	Right. Right. And then I thought, oh, really this that does make sense.
2:48.0	And maybe we should talk about kid lit, but no, we just want to talk about what we're reading, watching, listening to, and buying.
2:54.0	That's it. I mean, I could just read picture books and be perfectly happy.
3:00.0	Maybe maybe one episode.
3:03.0	I just love these episodes because they're really like sitting at our families kids table.
