It's a big ep. We debrief, reflect, recommend and share some rather big news about the pod in 2024.
We discuss:

- Fishing as a key theme of Katherine's year (and yes, the free fishing rods for Grade 4s is an actual thing)
- A delightful school visit for Katherine and why she's excited for 2024 and the publication of her first MG novel - Shellsville
- Kate reflects on a big year and the tour (and wrote about it here for The Bowerbird)
- Podcast highlight when Karen Comer organised a copy of Susie Anderson's the body country to Darcy Moore from Collingwood FC
- Kate's excited to share the news she's has her first PICTURE BOOK coming out in 2024! Stay tuned to her socials for details in the new year.

And finally - our big news. It's a two parter:
Firstly, we're taking a break from The First Time pod in this format in 2024. We love you and thank you SO MUCH for listening.
But! Don't delete The First Time feed just yet. Stay tuned for our summer series (from January) and Katherine will be kicking off something a little bit different in March 2024.
And that's it from us, for awhile at least!
Thank you so much for your listening, sharing and support over the last six seasons x
