Y'all did you know that while you can always listen /watch what I do for free, if I could double my paid subscribers at CoreyWritesForYou.com by this time next year, I could justify being a stay at home dad who does nothing but writes and podcasts for you! A long time dream of mine! Help me make it come true if you have the extra coin and my work brings value to your life! Now on to the podcast description!

Hey all! We had technical difficulties (and by technical difficulties I mean problems with our children 😂) last week, so this week we are giving you a MEGASODE of Little House of The Dragon!

We start out with an apology to you all for failing you, which turned into a fun little 20 min segment. Then after that you get to hear (key word there is "hear" as we did not record video) the Instant Reaction we recorded for episode 4 but had to cut short due to our sweet Laura James' eyes hurting her😭

After that, we do our normal deepdive of episode 4 which is followed immediately by episode 5!

Because I upload the same video here as I do on Youtube, at the very end is a promo for my Substack… me reading Chapter 3 of Here We Rest… most of you have already heard it, but if you havent, hey hey! two birds, one stone!

Lady Kirby and I had a BLAST hanging out all day and podcasting and it shows cause we get in the weeds quite a bit lol (in a way that will entertain you, I have no doubt!)

Details for the episode are below… love y'all and have a great rest of your weekend!
