Hey folks this is Kevin on this week's episode of risk you'll hear

John LaSala etc etc so forth and so on well that's actually what John wrote down that I should say about

him in the episode instructions but I think I should add that he is a

a gargantuanly and valuable part of keeping Risk running as our director of our audio team.

And because I love to give you guys the chance to hear from some of the other folks here at risk working

behind the scenes John is going to host this episode and J.C. Cassis, our business

director, will be dropping by to deliver the state of the union of risk during this episode too, so don't miss that.

And now here's Johnny.

Thanks Kevin.

But before we get underway... Thanks Kevin.

But before we get underway, I want to remind everyone about what you said at the end of last week's episode, that the 30th Best of Risk episode is coming and soon.

But before we pick what stories will be on this monumental episode,

we want to hear from you, our listeners, our fans,

what stories you think should be on the best of risk number 30.

All of the candidates are listed at risk. show.com slash best of risk,

and you can vote in the poll right there. The voting ends on March 20th at noon

eastern time. So make haste and please come on note ballot box stuffing.

Let's practice free and fair elections

while we still live in a democracy.

And on that cheery note, let's actually get underway.

Starting with a preview of one of our storytellers,

Josiah Simpson, uttering this episode's namesake.
