In this episode, Erin and Mandy chat about Iowa-adjacent books - books with Iowa as a setting, Iowa authors, crowd-sourced by Iowans, or some other connection to the state! Also in this episode - a slight digression about words that sound made up, some of our own spooky stories, and Mercury Retrograde. We hope you enjoy!

Thank you for your patience, as our release schedule got ALL messed up. We're hoping to have other episodes up next week, and the following week, to get us back up-to-date with our normal schedule but also get out a FANTASTIC guest episode in 2 parts (again, tech issues, tears, and all around what is happening vibes with this).

We'd love to hear from you! Email us at: [email protected]
