Holiday Hiatus Episodes
Interviews from the Frankfurter Buchmesse
S3 Holiday Hiatus EP 149: Dec. 18th
​
​​​​
Hello Happy People,
Today begins our holiday hiatus between podcast seasons. We usually play "The Best of" shows from the season that is ending but this year we are bringing you interviews we recorded live at the Frankfurter Buchmesse in Frankfurt, Germany. This Buchmesse is the world's largest publishing convention and with these interviews we barely scratched the surface of the incredible vendors attending this conference.
In today's show you will hear Dianne and Pedro Burckhardt conducting interviews on the convention floor with these companies. They discuss business practices and products these companies provide.

Enjoy,
Dianne and the Book Banter Productions Crew
PLEASE NOTE: these interviews are all recorded live on the convention floor. There is of course background noise due to the numerous amount of convention goers around us. We did our best to clean up the sound for you. We are looking into new technology to bring you even better sound next year. These are also minimally edited just to clean up the sound.

Podcast Holiday Hiatus
Dec. 18th - Jan. 29th Episodes
​
Normally during our hiatus we broadcast the "Best of Season" episodes, however,
this year we were able to meet so many amazing people and get some
great interviews at the Frankfurter Buchmesse. We are going to change things up and
bring all of this new content to you during this break instead. Please note, these episodes
will not have the sound quality and the editing our normal episodes
have. This is due to the fact they were recorded live at the publishing convention.
We will make sure to give you the best sound quality possible. Enjoy.

Hometown Business Shoutout!
Wichita, Kansas, USA
Prairie Dog Comics not only sells superhero comics, but they acted like them too! They came to my rescue while I was on vacation in the USA. I lost my passport in their shop two days before we were heading home to Germany. I had no idea it was even gone. They found it, found me, and got my passport back to me with plenty of time to fly home.
I'm glad I always bought my comics there when I lived in Wichita.
Thanks Guys!
