From Gimlet, this is reply all, I'm PJ vote, and I'm Alex Goldman.

And we're doing something different today, something we've never done before.

That is correct.

Well, normally we do these stories, we report on people, we often meet them at an unusual

time in their lives, and then when we're done we leave.

And even though we will hear interesting things about what continues to happen to people

after we reported their stories, there's no place for that information to go.

Because it's not like we just come together at the end of the year and do a big updates

episode where we found out all the crazy stuff that happened to people we'd reported on

since we'd done the story.

Or can we?

Probably we can.

Or will we?

Probably we're like 42 seconds into that episode right now.

That's right, this is the update episode.

Thanks to our friend Matt Farley for writing that amazing theme song.

So just as a disclaimer, if you're new to the show or if there are episodes that you

haven't heard before, not only will this make very little sense to you, but there will

be spoilers all over the place.

So go back and listen to every episode and then come back and listen to this one.

And we have someone who's going to guide us through these episodes.

Okay, guys.
