Hi friends, Karin here. Happy summer. I'm here with Katie Lambert.

Hey guys.

Katie is one of our crack story producers and we're really excited to have her here today.

I don't know if you're surviving the summer heat.

We're barely surviving.

Oh my gosh.

It's really crazy here this summer.

But actually, I guess if you're in New Zealand or Australia, then you're in winter.

And it's chilly and cold outside.

And I would love that right about now.

Especially because that would mean that we are one step closer to the launch of season two,

which is going to happen when the weather cools down a little here in the US.

It's we're hoping for the end of September.

So in the meantime, though, we didn't want to leave you hanging because we know summer's long

and you're probably thinking of all the many stories that you could share with us.

And we're still checking out the pitchline every day.

So we decided to take a break from all of our producing and recording and planning and dreaming

to tell you a few things.

We are going to give you a sneak peek at some of our upcoming themes.

So you can see if you have a story that fits them.

And then we're going to share a pitch right from our pitchline.

So a real true genuine pitch to show you exactly what we're looking for.
