Hi there, Deborah here for a quick word.

This October, we're dropping our Halloween fiction mini-series,

The Big Fib, a series of inaccurate events on Tuesdays as sort of a bonus episode.

We'll be back with our game show this Thursday, but for now, enjoy episode one of

A Series of Inaccurate Events. And now, on with the show. Music Enjoy episode one of a series of inaccurate events.

And now on with the show.

Hello and welcome to the big fib.

I'm your host, Deborah Goldstein.

And this week, we're coming to you with a special episode.

You see, tonight we'll be receiving a big honor, the Lightfoot Award for Truth in Podcasting.

We're on the train to the award ceremony as we speak.

Here beside me, as always, is our friend and sound effects robot Lisa, whose name stands for live in studio audience.

It is a great honor, Deborah,

not just for you and me, but for our loyal listeners, our production crew, and perhaps,

most importantly of all, me. And I think I speak for all of us when I say, we get money for this,

right? I mean, Deborah, they're going to give us money, right? Wow. What an inspiring sentiment, Lisa. I hope you wrote that down for your acceptance speech tonight. Also with us to claim the Lightfoot Award is our old producer, Noah Levinson. Welcome back to the big fib, Noah. Oh, thank you, Deborah. It's so good to see you guys again.

Oh, that's what you're doing here. I thought you were on the wrong train. I didn't want to say anything.

Oh, Deborah invited me back to help you accept the award. And I'll be recording this special night for our listeners.

Why does he get the award? He quit the podcast.

Lisa, we've been through a lot with Noah, your hacking crisis, that time you nearly went to prison for cyber espionage. He's one of us.

We're so curious to know, Noah. What have you been doing these last two years? Well, it's kind of a long story.

You see, I decided to go back to school to further my education in the field of truth
