Wow, Caroline! This is big news. As a regular listener for years, and as a guest last season, I've been grateful for your candor, insights, wonderful guests, and absolutely beautiful voice. I think I told you I consider you the Krista Tippett of literary podcasts? While I am sad to see the Secret Library end, moving on is a wise move for your spirit and your own writing. I am confident that you'll always be a precious literary light, finding ways to brighten all of our journeys.

Caroline, your podcast has made a profound difference in my life. In 2020, during the pandemic lockdowns, I listened to so many SLP episodes. There, I found comfort and community during a time of great isolation and uncertainty. In the years since, I've continued to listen eagerly, knowing that your guests and your excellent insights would likewise make me feel less alone as a writer. And there are so many incredible takeaways: Taking my character to a bookstore? Yes, please. And "Just do the next indicated thing." Brilliant!

Some of my favourite episodes include those with Ruth Reichl, Sarah Selecky, Chip Cheek, Jacqueline Winspear, Amy Cooper-Wright, Natalie Goldberg...but the list goes on...

Thank you so much for this gift of a podcast.
