<br /> <b>Hello American Girl fans!</b><img height="200" src="http://www.i-leadonline.com/GirlDollTalk/15-MaryCasanovaCoverArt.jpg" style="float: right;" width="200" /><br /> <br /> <b>A couple years ago we got some friends together for Christmas</b> and made a <a href="http://girldolltalk.blogspot.com/2009/12/video-podcast-interview-with-jacqueline.html" target="_blank">video podcast</a> celebrating the holiday. It just so happened that all of us were together again over New Years. So we decided to do another video podcast! It's crazy to see how much older everyone looks!<br /> <br /> <b>In addition to the fun with friends, this episode includes our interview with the <em>amazing</em> Mary Casanova!</b> We've heard from many listeners that her previous interview was one of their favorites and we're excited to bring this episode to you! Mrs. Casanova talks about the 2012 Girl of the Year, McKenna Brooks. Plus she answers questions that some of you submitted!<br /> <br /> <b>You can watch the video below or sync it through iTunes</b> if you have subscribed to our podcast. We'll also publish a separate episode that is audio only for listeners that don't have access to video iPods or iTunes.<br /> <br /> <b>Have you checked out the <a href="http://www.americangirl.com/play/girl-of-the-year/mckenna/#page=home" target="_blank">McKenna microsite on AmericanGirl.com</a>?</b> We invite you to try the <a href="http://www.americangirl.com/play/girl-of-the-year/mckenna/take-the-challenge.php" target="_blank">McKenna's Take the Challenge</a> to identify your strengths.
