It's free to use so you can have fun playing around without worrying about spending any money.

There's no end to the types of content you can create, whether it's music chat, your own radio show,

or something the world has never even heard of yet.

And if your idea is a hit, Anka can help you start making money from your podcast, with no minimum listenership.

They will also distribute your podcast for you, so it can be heard on loads of streaming sites, including Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

It really is everything you need to make a podcast in one place, and that's why I love it.

Good evening and welcome to the Sleepy Bookshouth, where we put down our worries from the day and pick up a good book.

I'm Elizabeth, your host, and it's lovely to have you here with me.

Tonight will be returning to little women, but before we do, take some time to be still and breathe.

Wherever you are right now, stop everything you're doing.

Resist the urge to fidget or move around, come to a complete stillness.

Close your eyes and just breathe.

Let your mind focus on your surroundings.

What do you hear? What do you feel? What do you smell?

Shift your focus now to the air that you're breathing.

Feel it into your body on your inhale.

And leave your body on your exhale.

You are calm. You are relaxed. You are ready to rest.
