About this episode
Hello and Happy New Year! We hope you had a great Holiday and are having a great start to your 2022. We are taking a much needed break at the beginning of January. To keep From the Front Porch on track with weekly releases, our team wanted to put together some special episodes over the next three weeks. In this episode of From the Front Porch, we are going to take a look back at 2020 and 2021. Every Tuesday, Olivia and Annie gave an update on how they were doing and on how the Bookshelf was surviving the pandemic. This episode is a compilation of those updates. From the Front Porch is a weekly podcast production of The Bookshelf, an independent bookstore in South Georgia. You can follow The Bookshelf’s daily happenings on Instagram at @bookshelftville, and all the books from today’s episode can be purchased online through our store website, www.bookshelfthomasville.com. A full transcript of today’s episode can be found here. Special thanks to Dylan and his team at Studio D Podcast Production for sound and editing and for our theme music, which sets the perfect warm and friendly tone for our Thursday conversations.
