We’re back from our longer than expected hiatus! Five-year-old Alma Bea has taken over the co-host seat as Nora is almost thirteen and she’s just not having it anymore. Sigh. All things must pass. We’ll always have 60 episodes.
But Alma’s enthusiasm for Ivy & Bean should raise all of our spirits.
You can also listen using any number of podcast platforms and apps including Apple, Spotify, Castbox, Breaker, Pocket Casts, Radio Public, Stitcher, and Google Podcasts.

Disclosure: By the way, all of these links are affiliate links, so if you buy something, you pay the same, but Nora gets a few pennies for her big 8th grade trip fund. Or maybe Alma should get the money now? She’d probably just spend it on stuffed narwhals.
