The Emmas

Meet The Emmas: Anna, Angèle, Laura, and Ellie! We discuss how the podcast got out of the group chat and into your earbuds, share a little about ourselves and our friendship as a group, and present the structure for the podcast. In this episode, we discuss the first half of Volume 1, meet our favorite citizen of St. Crispian's, and the journal as a format.
Next time, we will be reading from April 7 to the end of Volume 1!

Pour yourself a cup of tea, grab a slice of cake, and pull up your armchair – your newest listening companion has arrived on the scene! We are excited to announce a new fan podcast, The Emmas, an unselected, unendorsed, and unsponsored—but very enthusiastic—book club podcast devoted to discussing, dissecting, appreciating, and occasionally overthinking all the happenings of St. Crispian’s. We invite you to join us in what we are sure will be the highlight of the season. Or is it, The Season?
