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!  SHOW NOTES Read Ellie’s amazing Substack on why and how to start a bookclub, “This fall, start a book club”. A Thousand Blows on Hulu and Disney+ Books Mentioned The Unselected Journals of Emma M.
