Welcome to the Quillette Podcast. I'm Jonathan Kaye and no I am not the editor-in-chief of

Quillette. I know you were expecting to hear things open with my boss, Claire Lehman.

Well, I'm giving Claire's soundtrack the day off today

because this isn't actually an official Colette Podcast episode.

That's why I'm not even using the regular Colette podcast theme composed by Neil Gray by the way, but my old wrong-speaked podcast theme. Crazy, right?

Anyway, the reason I'm here with this short message is that podcasting is mostly a one-way communication phenomenon.

And I wanted to take a moment to describe how you can get in touch with me to pitch ideas, suggest guests, and generally just tell us what we're doing right and wrong.

Many of you have been listening to me for a few years now,

and I'm guessing you've developed your own ideas about what new subjects we should be covering.

Just email at John, that's J-O-N-H,

at quillette, 2-L-S-T-T,

dot com,

or DM me on Twitter at John K, that's J-O-N-K-A-Y.

I'm also happy to hear your comments about our advertisers, good and bad alike.

Like many other podcasts podcasts we may occasionally dedicate an episode or

two in the future to answering questions from listeners and so if you have a question you'd

like answered on the air you can send me those too, even if your questions start with

words like, where do you get off or have you no shame? Don't be shy. As anyone who follows me on

Twitter knows, I have a pretty thick skin. Everyone at Quilett does, it's part of our brand.

And please remember that while we're all proud of our Quilett podcast, what my colleagues are really

famous for are the fantastic essays posted regularly at quillette.com.

So if you're just a quillette podcast listener, you're not getting the full quilette experience.
