The Podcast was late but it’s finally here, plus, I’m NOT in London

Hey everyone-

A couple of weird things happened today: the podcast didn’t go up until this afternoon (we usually publish late Tuesday night) and then there was the scam email some of you might have received from my personal email address. No, I am not in London,  no I was not mugged, and no I wasn’t emailing you asking for cash!

Apologies to any of you who might have gotten this. While the hacker had access to my account, he wiped out all of my contacts, so I can’t even tell who might have been spammed. Chances are, if I ever replied to an email from you, you were hit. As far as I know, there is no virus to be concerned about. It was just a phishing attack looking for cash.

Rest assured, I have regained control of my account and the password is now VERY complex and convoluted!

Michael

p.s. many folks have told me that they immediately knew it wasn’t me because of the atrocious spelling and grammar. I guess it pays to speak (and write) correctly!

    Hi Ann and Michael: I’ve never written before, but have been a loyal fan since I discovered you via Stitcher this past February. Now I’m writing in response to your query this week concerning books in series that are neither mysteries nor fantasies nor kids’ books. I immediately thought of John Updike’s “Rabbit” series: one book per decade, tracing Rabbit’s life in Pennsylvania. I was a big fan. I was less a fan of Updike’s “Bech” series. Finally: your discussion of well-loved kids’ series made me wonder if you ever read Nancy Drew, my all-time favorite when I was a kid. Well, I guess that’s all from me for now. Thanks for keeping me company on laundry day (which is when I generally treat myself to listening to your podcast). And Ann, U hope you enjoy those Maine lobsters. Best, LBSH

    Lisa, the lobster was wonderful! Thanks so much for posting – I have read Nancy Drew, and also Updike, though I think I was too young for Updike when I first read him. Mostly I wanted to say thinks for mentioning that you found us via Stitcher! I always wonder if anyone listens to us there. Glad to hear someone does.
