0:11.1	I'm your host, Rachel Bernstein.
0:13.5	Hi, everyone. It is so nice to be able to read through these reviews. It is really, really nice to be able to see the
0:27.5	five-star reviews, of course, but to hear what people have to say about it and read what people
0:33.9	have to say about it. And I appreciate the fact that there has been some talk
0:40.5	about how this show is done with empathy. And I'm very glad that that is coming through,
