Welcome to the fiftieth episode of the Tea in the Treetops podcast hosted by Philippa and Anni.
Happy new year! It’s our fiftieth episode and to celebrate, we’re giving away presents! See below for details.
We take a look back on the great time we’ve had making this podcast so far, and also list some highly anticipated fantasy and sci-fi books for the first half of 2017. We also chat about some books we’ve been reading, including Heartless by Marissa Meyer. This episode was recorded on 23 January 2017.
We hope you enjoy listening and we would love to hear your feedback. Is there anything you would like us to talk about in particular? Just let us know!
You can listen to past episodes of the podcast, as well as the various ways to subscribe on the main podcast page. You can also record a voice message for us via the Speakpipe widget there.
Our title music is titled Sea of Dreams and has been used with the kind permission of the composer, Bart Stoop. You can hear more of Bart’s beautiful music at facebook.com/BartStoop.
