Welcome to a new episode of Hooked, a podcast where we share the things that we're hooked on. From books and TV shows to snacks and skirts with pockets, we're talking about whatever is helping us deal with life when life is just too much.

I'm your host, Mary Carver, and while I'll still be hanging out on the couch with friends and we'll still be talking about pop culture and why it matters, Hooked is now the new and improved show you need today.

And speaking of today, in this week's episode, I'm joined by my best friend and best friend of every show I've ever hosted . . . Anna Rendell. Anna is a writer, speaker, and mom of four – and you probably know her from Hooked on Holiday Movies, our annual endeavor to bring all the best holiday movies to you and, as you might have guessed, the inspiration for this podcast's name change.

I think you're going to love this episode. So let's get started!
