This is simple. I'm Tish Oxenreider.

Hey friends, every now and then I use this podcast as a chance to catch up with a writer friend of mine and that's the case in this episode.

Here I'm talking with my friend Sean Smucker who writes fiction and non-fiction for kids and adults. And y'all, if you don't know him or his work yet, get ready because you should. He's one of my favorite modern writers, both as human and as a creator of good work. And if you like this

podcast you will like Sean's books and like we do here on the show every now

and then Sean is sharing with us his good list. A thing, a habit, a work of art, and a philosophy that's making

his life just a bit better.

And if you like these sorts of episodes, and I think you do because the Good List episodes are the

highest downloaded episodes here on Simple.

Then you're going to want to make sure you caught the latest episode from last week,

the bonus announcement episode, where I shared with you that this show, Simple, is ending in just a few weeks.

But that a new show is beginning and I think you're going to love it.

It's called The Good List.

And in each episode I'll share with you one idea, habit, work of art or thing that makes life better.

Episodes will be short and sweet and I just really think you're going to love it.

So check out the show notes in this episode,

number 223, to find the link to last week's episode, and to sign up for the

email list to know in the first episode of The Good List drops in early 2020.

Okay, so with all this in mind, let's get right to it. Here is Sean sharing with us his good list.

Okay, Sean, I'm really, really excited to talk to you because I think that the

listeners of the podcast would really like your books, so it's really good to get you in front of them and we're going to talk

about your good list which I love doing with authors and as listeners know we

always start with a thing which is anything big or small that's just making your life a little bit better right now.
