I just wanted to take a moment to talk a little bit about our culture.

What the High Wire is because coming into the end of last year, we were accelerating, growing

exponentially.

We are now speaking to millions of you around the world as you watch this show right now

in your homes.

We want to thank you for being a part of our family.

But many of you don't really know what the High Wire is.

Maybe you're thinking, well, it's like all those other podcasts out there where they,

you know, tell the truth or they jump on these stories that no one else will cover.

Or, you know, it looks a little bit like television.

I know Dell came from television, so it's sort of like a new show.

But to be clear, we do things a little bit differently here.

And I want to lay that out because as we go into our investigations this year, I really

want you to understand what you can expect from us on the High Wire.

It's not going to be any different than what we've delivered for the last several years

on this conversation than all of those before when we started.

And here's what the High Wire really is.

It's a bit of a dream of mine, certainly, and many of my team members that come from different

places.

But for those of us that worked in television together, what you don't understand when

you watch a show where they're having a guest and they're interviewing them is there is

what is called a pre-interview that is done.
