0:00.0 | You're listening to Robert Wright's Non-Zero Podcast. |
0:08.5 | Hello, this is Bob, and I wanted to, first, thank you for listening to the Non-Zero podcast, |
0:16.8 | and second, encourage you to, as they say, rate and review us, since we need all the support |
0:24.0 | we can get in the increasingly competitive podcast world. |
0:28.6 | And speaking of support, the third thing I wanted to do is say that one way some people |
0:34.5 | support us is by becoming paid subscribers to the Non-Zero newsletter, |
0:40.1 | which gets them, in addition to all the paywalled print content at Non-Zero, |
0:46.1 | a special Non-Zero podcast feed that has everything the public Non-Zero podcast feed has, |
0:53.9 | plus the Parrot Room, my feed has plus the parrot room. |
0:57.3 | My weekly after-hours conversation with longtime frenemy Mickey Kouse, |

1:12.8 | and in some cases probably shouldn't say even in the parrot. |
1:17.7 | Now, that special non-zero podcast feed will also get you early access to a lot of the |
1:24.5 | conversations I have with various other people, the conversations that go |
1:28.8 | public on Tuesday. And it will get you various other things, like audio versions of some of my |
1:35.6 | newsletter essays and perhaps the occasional impromptu monologue. So I encourage you to head over to |
1:42.8 | non-zero.substack.com and join the ranks of |
1:47.7 | hardcore non-zero readers and listeners. And again, thanks for listening. Hi, Nikita. |
1:56.3 | Hey, Bob. How are you doing? Doing okay. How are you? Can't complain. Let me introduce us. I'm Robert Wright, publisher, the Non-Zero Newsletter. |
2:04.0 | This is the Non-Zero podcast. You, as you know, are Nikita Petrov, a creative director for the Glenn Show, whose past is intertwined with the past of this podcast in ways I won't get in too much, except to say it used to work |
2:19.3 | for the Non Zero Foundation, which puts out this podcast, used to put out the Clems Show. |
