Hi, Helen Hong.

Hi, Jay Keith Van Stratton.

This is totally how we greet each other normally.

Mm-hmm.

And hello listeners.

The network that our show is on, Maximum Fun, is throwing a virtual block party from now until October 22nd, and you are invited.

In fact, you're already here.

Yeah, and during Block Party, Max Fun shows are releasing episodes that are especially welcoming to new audiences.

Like this episode, you're about to listen to now.

So if you've been encouraging a friend to try out our show, this is the perfect episode to share with them.

And it's also a great time to check out shows you've been curious about since they're releasing episodes geared towards new audience members, too.

You know, I've been a Max Fun listener for years before I was a host on the network.

The shows I especially like are Jordan Jesse Go, the flop house, and oh no, Ross and Carrie.

We also recorded a Neat the Neighbors mini episode with John Moe of the podcast, Depresh Mode, great title,

where we talk about what our shows have in common and even

play a quiz about mental health.

That's a quiz where everyone wins.

That special Meet the Neighbors episode will be in our show's feed soon.

It's all part of Maximum Fund's Block Party.

Block Party also has games, recommendations, a volunteer event, a limited edition poster, and more.

Find out more about all that fun stuff at maximum fun.org slash block party.

Thank you, block party.
