Hello and welcome to season 3 of Flash Forward. I know that I've been away for a little bit but I'm really

excited for this season. I have some really fun futures planned for you and some

scary ones but also fun ones I promise it's a good mix this season. Before we get started, I have a couple of points of business.

You know that we have great advertisers that support the show and keep it free for you.

One of the reasons that advertisers love flash forward is that they know that the show has amazing listeners.

And right now we have a survey that I'd like you to take to help us learn more about you, the audience.

So go to pod survey.com slash Flash, FLASH, like Flash Forward like the show. Survey. questions about yourself and what you'd like to buy but it's completely anonymous

so you don't have to give us your name your answers will help us find advertisers

that are well matched to you your interests and this show and when you're

finished you can enter a monthly drawing to win a $100 Amazon gift card.

I know that I've done these listener surveys in the past, but if you've already filled one

of these out, it would be really awesome if you could fill it out again because this is a different

company that's handling it, and they have like different stats and need to... a different

stats and need to answer different questions.

So the earlier ones were just for me to know about you and this is actually

like an official survey for business reasons. So if you can go

pod survey.com slash flash that would be great you can win a hundred dollar gift card

and more importantly to me at least you will help the show be better and get the advertisers that are the best suited for you.

Okay, great. Thanks for helping me find the best advertisers so that I can keep the show free for you.

Okay, so more business to do before we get started.

I promise I'll make this quick.

Um, this is more about the show.
