Hey there, I'm Jack Rodolico, and I helped make Supervision, this podcast that you're about to listen to.

I'm really happy you found Supervision. I can't wait for you to hear it.

And I'm just poking my head up here so I can share a quick word with you.

What you're about to hear is sort of a reboot of supervision. We originally released the podcast in May of 2019. At that time, we told the story of why a man would thrive or fail on parole. We released supervision in four episodes, and we thought we were done. Emily, supervision's host,

wasn't planning on doing more reporting. And then Emily uncovered this new fact. It was something

she could not have known about the story back when we originally released supervision. And once she had discovered the new thing,

it made us realize that the story we'd told was incomplete. So we set out to make a fifth

episode with that new information, which we did. But while we were making that fifth episode,

the new reporting Emily was uncovering,

while it was shifting what the entire story was all about, what had started as a story about

why a man would thrive or fail on parole turned into something much bigger, into a story about

survival, and about just how hard it can be for a reporter to get to the truth.

So we decided to make some changes to those four original episodes.

Changes that would make the whole podcast, all five episodes, reflect the whole story we felt we needed to tell.

What you're about to hear is the rebooted Supervision, the story as it stands in April

2021.

In the interest of transparency, we've posted all those original episodes on our website.

There, you'll also find a note that details why and how we changed what we changed.

That's at supervisionpodcast.com.

And by the way, we're releasing supervision this time as the second season of Document,

which is where you'll find more enterprise and investigative podcasts from New Hampshire Public Radio.
