you and i have a friend in common every stupid thing that a writer could do I've done. I think it's really beautiful. Jesus, did it what I struggle, you know? It was incredible. You know, it was like your head exploded, seeing what was really there. And now here's your host, Brad Listing. Just one person at just one time. All right, everybody, here we go again. This is it. This is other people. This is two overly cerebral human beings in conversation. This is you sitting there slack-jawed. Thank you for being here.

breaks no weeks off i don't care i'm a creature of habit i'm not complaining i like doing the program

almost a full year now sitting in front of this microphone trying to think of something to say

and of course with that in mind i have a lot of people to thank first and foremost foremost, I owe a great thanks to you, everybody who's listening. I know I've said this before on many different occasions, but I really appreciate the kind support that you've given me over the past year, the kind emails, the messages of all kinds. I can't do this without you, obviously. It would be no fun for one thing if there

was nobody listening, not to mention it would be monumentally sad. So thank you for sticking with me

and for spreading the word, and I look forward to seeing what happens in year two. I also owe great

thanks to all of the authors who have been kind enough to talk with me over the past year.
