And the What's up everybody? Merry Christmas. Happy holidays. This show is coming out on

Christmas Eve for our American listeners and Christmas Day for everybody else.

As the title of this episode suggests, there will be a segment from my interview

with Howard Marks. It's between 20 and 30 minutes. Let's leave it at that. So that'll come

at the end of this this but I have an important

announcement to tell you all about beforehand which is that finally after a year

of promising you my listeners a Hidden Forces subscription I I've finally done it. It's a long story as to why it took so

long and I'm not going to get into it. But one of the benefits that it took so long is that now anyone who subscribes gets immediate access to the transcripts of every episode we've ever done and to over 50 rundown starting with episode 19,

which are these beautiful show outlines

with reference materials, charts, pictures, quotes,

all the rest of it.

So anyone who's a regular listener has heard me reference these documents.

They're the outlines that I put on Twitter

and my personal feed and pictures and photographs. It's like the nerd porn that I put

out on social media. It's great. It's what I create before every single episode.

So going forward I'm going to be incorporating subscriber feedback and input into how I construct

these and I'm going to make a bigger effort to include links and documents and things like that

related to the show.

So that's all going to be made available through our website.

And my intention in making these materials available

is so that they can serve as educational compendiums to the subjects that we cover every week.

And the same goes with the transcripts, which I'm happy to improve upon with user feedback.
