LISTEN TO THE PODCAST | READ THE TRANSCRIPT
🕮 Behrman House has been publishing Jewish educational materials and children's books for over 100 years, and up until now, has been a family-run business. But David Behrman and his wife Vicki Weber are about to enter their well-deserved retirement, and they are passing the business out of the family into the capable hands of their friend and colleague Derek Stordahl. I spoke to all three of them about the history, and the future, of Behrman House and its children's imprint, Apples & Honey Press.
This is Part 2 in my 2-part "New Faces" series. Part 1 introduces you to the new Editorial Director at Kar-Ben Publishing, Leila Sales. If you haven't heard it, go back and listen!
