Hey there, listeners. I've got a couple announcements for you this holiday season.

First, we're offering a limited time discount on our special club, LST Plus, now through Christmas.

Annual membership is usually 50 bucks, but right now you can get in for 40 bucks. When you're in the

club, you get access to ad-free listening, our community, and exclusive bonus episodes.

Sign up or give the gift of membership at Longest Shortestime.com slash club and use code

yay LST. That's Y-A-Y-L-S-T. Now, for the most exciting announcement,

this year I'm offering an extra special gift option, a keepsake interview with me, your host,

Hillary Frank. This is something I did for my Kickstarter back in 2013. Here's how it works. I will

interview you about anything having to do with family or pregnancy or childbirth or any of the

kinds of things we talk about on the show. And then you keep the recording and you can give it as a

gift to anyone you like. Or you can give the interview as a gift

and I will interview that person and they keep the recording. Or I'll interview you together

with that person and you both keep the recording. I know you've got a great story and we'll get

all the funny stuff and emotional stuff on tape so

you can remember it. And then when you want to feel close to the person or people that you're

talking about, all you need to do is hit play on the recording. And when you purchase this gift,

it's a gift to me as well because it helps me to keep the show going, which I hope is in return a gift for you.

This truly is the gift that keeps on giving.

Hey there, it's Hillary, and I've got a podcast recommendation for you. If you ever find yourself wishing you could step away from the noise of the world for a while, stories from the
