{How *am* I?! Via Twitter and the Wonka experience.}
Morning, friends! Yr pal al here, hoping your week is off to a better start than the photo above. In her defense, there are a lot of pleasant photos of her too.
Read to the end for one of my all time fav shirts in my (huge) collection.
It would rule if you’d forward this along to anyone who might dig our podcast. New episodes are out every Monday, plus Untethered minisodes on (most) Wednesdays, and we’re on all the podcast platforms like Apple Podcasts + Spotify + Castbox + Google Podcasts.
We have merch! Get yours here. We now have a hoodie! And a crewneck sweatshirt! Plus several tshirts, a unisex tank top, and a dad hat, each in a few colors. And a mug and a sticker.
If you have any feedback or ideas you want to hear us cover, or if you just want to say hi, you can reply to this email and it’ll come straight to us. We’re also on:
email + tiktok + youtube + twitter + instagram + facebook group + read with tether facebook group — next book is I’ll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara. We’ll be meeting up online on Wednesday, April 10, at 7:30pm Eastern to discuss it. It’s probably the best true crime book I have ever read, and I’m excited to reread it.
