Episode 246: On Hold. Plus, Children’s Book Author Airlie Anderson

15th March 2018

Don’t hang up yet, you’re just on hold! Biz and Theresa wonder if putting things on hold until [fill in the blank] is a good thing, and if perhaps it’s better to just let some things go so that we can return to them when we’re ready. Let’s hold off on answering that. Plus, Biz is in the moment but not in the zone, Theresa says, “I’ll do it myself!” and we talk to award-winning children’s book author and illustrator Airlie Anderson about her new book, Neither, which is a beautiful celebration of diversity and inclusion.
