All right, everybody, we've got an extra smart, mega fun show for you coming up in just a minute.

But before we get started, do you realize you are outnumbered?

No, Rico's not referring to your weird love of putting mustard on eggs.

That's gross.

Yeah.

He's talking about your podcast listening habit.

If you're listening to this, you're one of the few people in America who listens to on-demand audio.

That's obviously a sad and bad thing,

so we're trying to do something about it.

And that is why this month we're joining other podcasts from outfits like NPR, ESPN, and

the podcast network Gimlet to encourage podcast fans to spread the word about this format we love.

And all you got to do is tell someone who doesn't listen to podcasts about one episode you

loved from any podcast.

And if you're doing it on social media, please use the hashtag tripod.

That's T-R-Y-Pod.

It's quick and easy and it will make the people around you smarter.

And then you can go back to your strange condiment decisions.

Thanks for your help.

Hold the mustard. And now here's your icebreaker. Okay. So what'd you call

a woman who's very far away? What? Dalt.

I'm Rico Gagliano. I'm Brendan Francis Nuneman from 8 p.m. American Public Media.

This is the dinner party download, culture, food, and humor to fuel your party conversations.
