Welcome to the Making Sense Podcast. This is Sam Harris. Okay. I have a town hall event

in Los Angeles coming up in May. May 9th at a currently undisclosed location. This is going

to be at a small club. I think it seats 200, a more intimate venue than normal. And we're going to

broadcast this town hall online. And I'm hopeful the video experience is going to be good.

It's going to be an ask me anything episode of the podcast, but rather than take questions

merely from you all online. I'm expecting attendees to bring their questions,

that is a supporter, you should have already received an email about this event,

and you'll receive another email on Friday the 26th when tickets go on sale. And those tickets

will go very quickly. So if you live in Los Angeles and want to attend live, I would jump on that.

But if you're not in LA or can't attend the live event, you'll find the video in your subscriber

content online at SamHarris.org. There's also going to be a policy change coming soon here,

where you will need an active subscription to get content behind my paywall. The policy with

respect to free hasn't changed. If you really can't afford to support the show, I don't want money
