"...SOS Podcasts is a love letter from a woman to her favorite media source. It lets the Reader know that there is a podcast and a story for just about every feeling, activity, interest, and experience."
Delighted to share with you bits of my Kirkus review of SOS Podcasts
“…In her voice, universal subjects (including bad weather, religious faith, childbirth, and not fitting into a group) become compelling and entertaining…”
“This chronicle is a handy resource detailing the wide range of podcasts that Mancini sampled, which are compiled at the book’s end…”
“Writing in an informal, diaristic manner, Mancini often tries to persuade the reader…that she’s behaving acceptably (“I wasn’t nerdy, really, I wasn’t”); this approach…comes off as engaging and funny.”
“…An informative and amusing account of an expat finding solace in the world of podcasts.”
“SOS Podcasts” by Rosamaria Mancini is an informative and enlightening memoir. It captures how the author relied on podcasts to help her survive some major life transitions, and how it helped her to find the courage and wisdom to embrace the future and chart a path through the unknown."
