Hey y'all, this is Sam's Aunt Daddy.

I just like to take a moment to run you through, give you an idea of what I do to get ready

to record the script every week.

Brent Sam's producer sends a script for me, letting me know who's going to be on the show

that day, and oftentimes he has to walk me through the correct pronunciation of the guest

name.

And after we do that, I stand in front of a mirror.

I put a smile on my face, and I lift my chin so that my voice comes across as approachable

and cheerful so that you're still invited to be a part of the show that day.

Alright, so as you heard there, you hear Aunt Betty for maybe six or seven seconds at

the start of every Friday episode we do on this show, but it takes Aunt Betty a lot

more than just six or seven seconds to make that happen.

Here's a thing listener, every episode of this show takes a lot of time.

This episode you're about to hear, it took months to reach you.

We started out talking with folks at Netflix back in October about my guest, who you will

meet soon.

My guest and I spent almost three hours together, a three hour interview.

We had a bunch of microphones that had to record the whole thing, and it took even more

hours to turn all of that into 30 minutes of wonderful listening for you.

It took a lot of work, but it's work that we love to do.

And I'm asking you right now to support that work by supporting your local public radio

station.
