0:00.0	Hey, everybody. Before we go to today's show, I want to just give you a super quick PSA about
0:05.1	advertisements on Flash Forward. So I talk on this show a lot about privacy and understanding
0:10.4	who has your data and how they're using it. So I just wanted to be fully transparent with
0:14.0	you all about the ways in which ads on this show get picked and why you might hear what you hear
0:18.6	and a couple of little changes. So there are two kinds of ads on Flash Forward. The first is
0:23.2	what's called a host read, which is just, you know, when you hear me read an ad for something,
0:26.7	you're used to them, you've heard them. And usually I then say something like go to sponsor
0:31.6	website.com slash flash forward. By going to that link, that is how the sponsor knows that you
0:36.7	came from this podcast flash forward. And that is how they measure success. But it's probably not
0:42.4	surprising to find out that that is not a great measure because if you are anything like me,
0:47.1	you often forget the full URL and later you're like, oh wait, where did I hear about that company?
0:52.5	Which podcast was it? So you just go to like the regular website. So now more and more advertisers
0:58.6	are asking us to include some kind of little tracking pixel on these host red ads. I'm not going
1:04.4	to go into the details of how this works. But if you go to flashforward pod.com slash support,
1:09.8	I will put a little bit more information and some links to explain it. But the basic just is that
1:14.4	there's a little tag attached to the episode. And when you access it, it helps advertisers find out
1:19.0	if you actually went to their website after listening to flash forward or not. Now I only accept
1:24.3	this kind of advertiser, this kind of tracking. If I am convinced that they are abiding by all the
1:28.9	standards and that they take privacy seriously. But I also believe that it is very important for you,
1:34.0	the listener to know that this is happening. Obviously, it's not just happening on flash forward.
1:38.7	It's probably happening on lots of other podcasts that you listen to. But if there is an ad like this
1:43.8	in the episode, I will always put a little note in the show notes with a link to explain how it
