This week’s episode of Best of Both Worlds is all about Tranquility by Tuesday!
But wait, you say…isn’t the book out next week?
Yes — October 11th. But if you listen to the Best of Both Worlds podcast, then you already know I exist (most likely…even if you’re coming to listen to Sarah, which is why I listen to the podcast, and I just try to ignore the sound of my own voice…). As pre-orders are incredibly helpful for a book’s success, we decided to air this episode one week before launch. Also, listeners can still get in on the pre-order campaign bonuses.
Sarah interviews me about the origin of the book, and how I ran the Tranquility by Tuesday project. We talk about what rules she likes and which she’s a little less sold on. And we offer some suggestions on how to find little adventures, even in a busy life.
Please give the episode a listen! As always, we welcome ratings and reviews. And I would appreciate if you’d pre-order a copy of Tranquility by Tuesday (and/or ask your library to order it). If you already have pre-ordered, please tell friends about the book! And the podcast. Word of mouth is truly how we grow.
(And don’t worry, we will be back to non-TBT content next week!)
Hi, I’m aware you have dynamic advertising on your podcast but would really like not to hear political ads (for adjacent states where I can’t even vote) when I’m listening. Is there a way that you could select not to have political ads from your ad network? You and Sarah don’t discuss political items on your podcast (rather intentionally as I recall), so it feels incongruous to have to listen to political ads to listen to your podcast. Thanks.
@Katie – I’m so sorry you heard a political ad. Yes, we have dynamic insertion for unsold spots (and which would allow people to hear local ads) but I thought we had put politics in the “no” category alongside things like cigarettes and gambling…I’m checking with our ad folks now to make sure the preferences are updated.
I have never heard political ads and have listened to the podcast a long time! Maybe it’s a regional thing?
Just ordered the book! Excited for it! I have been in a little reading slump lately and I know this will be just the thing to invigorate my reading life this fall. (Productivity books are my favorites!)
@Grateful Kae – maybe you’re somewhere without a closely contested election? I’m getting junk mail daily and all our local TV stations are filled up with Senate ads…
Sorry- I should clarify. I hear lots of political ads “everywhere else” on TV/radio/etc., but I don’t recall ever hearing them on your podcast, I mean.
Thanks for checking on this. I was surprised to hear a political ad while I listened to the podcast too today. I don’t remember hearing one before.
@Kaethe – and you won’t again! Or shouldn’t!
Update – our preferences have been updated and political/candidate/election ads should now be on the never list. My apologies to anyone who got those in their ad feed today!
I hope you saw a surge in pre-orders! I ordered mine! Excited to check it out. I heard you on the happier podcast this week, too! Was fun to get some extra Laura in my life this week!
@Lisa – thank you! So fun that you heard me on Happier. That was definitely a goal of mine to be on there!
