Hey, everyone. I want to welcome you to this very special bonus episode of Spontaneation. We've

never done this before, but in anticipation of our 100th episode, I thought you might like to hear

the pilot that we did. That's right. We tried the show out first before we started recording

in earnest just to see what it would feel like, if anything need to be changed and um you know i think you will see that very few changes were made in the format it's it's

kind of uh the way it is i think some some segments got switched around but other than that

it's the show that you are listening to this very day. This is the

template for it, more or less. So I want to thank the great Rich Summer, who is so funny. I'm

still mad. He did not join in in the improv. He was the first guest to decline. But he's terrific

on this episode and was a great sport to come down and do this,

which we had no intention of releasing.

But now that we've made it to 100 episodes,

I think we finally have proof of concept.

So we're releasing this for fun.

And I also thought it would be fun to answer some questions that people had.

So I threw it open to our Twitter at Spontaneation.

You can follow us there, and maybe we'll do this again sometime.

But here are some questions from our wonderful listeners.

Username, Beautiful City.

What inspired Paul to start this podcast and what's been the most surprising insight to come

out of doing 100 episodes.

This came out of wanting to do something that was simpler and less time consuming than

the Pod F Tompcast.
