Once in a while, I get asked to do a podcast to share some ideas. I hardly ever say no because I so enjoy having conversations with people and always feel like I have made a new connection in this great wide world. This podcast with Rob Smith from The Interactive Teacher was no different, am invigorating conversation that made me think of what in the world it is I really do, another chance for me to herald the virtues of my husband, to share the story of the Global Read Aloud, and also to ask teachers to trust their students more.
Thank you Rob for having me on and also for making me think! I am so looking forward to listening to all of your other interviews.

Pernille, it was a real honor to speak with you about Global Read Aloud, and your talk has really inspired me to ask the question: if people read what I write and then see what I do, then are they going to see an authentic match or not? Thank you for being so transparent and open and available. You have so much to teach the world.
