On this podcast, we deep dive into the books we’re reading, the shows and films we’re watching, and the bigger themes behind the stories we love. We interview authors, talk with fellow creators, and share honest conversations about storytelling, creativity, and what it means to live a full, meaningful life. Our mission is simple: Share meaningful stories. Seek what matters most. Be joyfully authentic. And empower people to be free and aim high.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-02T10:20:09.764612+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/kris-and-mads-6973697"},"episode":{"title":"Did we read our best books of the year in December?","slug":"did-we-read-our-best-books-of-the-year-in-december","published_at":"2026-01-05T19:55:40+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/kris-and-mads-6973697/did-we-read-our-best-books-of-the-year-in-december","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/kris-and-mads-6973697","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kristen-and-maddie/episodes/Did-we-read-our-best-books-of-the-year-in-December-e3d7f7c","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/f92e2df0/podcast/play/113539756/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-0-5%2F415538778-44100-2-88343a09e68b8.mp3","summary":"How did we save all of our best reads for the very end of 2025?!
