The Hey 10 things to tell you listeners this is your host Laura Tremaine and I'm here to talk about my new

project called Secret Stuff. Secret Stuff is a private podcast but it's also

more than that. I envision this being not just a place where I talk

at you through your earbuds, but where we can really talk through some things

together. So beyond just podcast episodes that you can

listen to as usual, there will also be live discussions and Q&As about the

episodes and topics. Why am I calling this new project The Secret Stuff? Good question.

For one thing I've been creating stuff on the internet for so long I know that

not every single discussion and topic is fit for wide public consumption.

This is the very reason that I've long had an email newsletter called The Secret Posts

and why I released a limited podcast series of conversations

with people I wrote about in my book that I called the secret tapes. I'm not

implying deep dark super secrets or anything I'm not implying deep, dark, super secrets or anything.

I'm not an idiot about what the internet is,

but it's the difference between standing on a stage

and telling a story and being in a cozy room

as part of a great conversation.

We'll be able to go a little deeper, a little more personal.

Every single month as part of the secret stuff,

I will host these private podcast episodes.

They might be extensions of what we talk about here on 10 Things to Tell You,

Further Thoughts on a Topic, or Sensitive Rabbit Trails,
