Hey everybody, it's me, Tracy, host of the stacks. I am here with another episode of the Stacks

on a bridge, which is our bonus exclusive podcast episode for members of the Stacks Pack on

Patreon and subscribers to unstacked my newsletter on Substack. Today's episode I am so excited about,

we have never done this, but I've always wanted to, which is I am talking to the three people who make

up the team here at the stacks who are not named Tracy Thomas. So that is my incredible assistant

Sahara Clement, my jack of all trades, and you'll hear us talk about why we don't have a name

for her, Cherie Marquez, and my beloved and also oftentimes

disgruntled editor, Christian Duenas. I get to talk to each of them and ask them about what they do

here at the podcast, our relationship, and also the books that they love, of course.

This is also a great way for you at home to hear what your money at Patreon and Substack goes to support.

Because without you, I could not have this amazing team.

Now listen, if this episode cuts off after about 10 minutes or so, that means you're not a paid subscriber to the Substack or the Patreon.

And that's super easy to remedy.

You can go to patreon.com slash the stacks to join

the stacks pack or go to tracythomas.substack.com to subscribe to the newsletter. At the paid tier,

you're going to get monthly bonus episodes like this, plus a bunch of other perks,

community, hot takes, mega reading challenge, reading tracker, all sorts of things.

So go to those places, subscribe to the work here.

Know that your subscription means that I can have this amazing team you're about to hear from

and I can continue to make the Stacks podcast free to all every single week.

All right, enough of me.

We are going to dive into this conversation with each member of the Stacks team.
