Hey everybody, this is Steve Carroll for the EM Basic podcast. This is not a regular episode of the

podcast. It's just a quick announcement of another new feature for EM Basic. In addition to today

being the launch of EM Basic Essential Evidence and the transition to a weekly podcast, you can now

get the EM Basic app from the Apple and Android App stores for even more

each episode from the app itself.

As a further bonus, each app will have a PDF attached to it with either the show notes for that

episode or a copy of the article that we'll be talking about for the episodes of essential evidence.

You even have the option of importing these PDFs into your iBooks application for either further portability.

So now you can go and listen to the podcast and get access to the show notes and the articles all in one app.

All episodes of EM Basic will continue to be published for free through iTunes and will also be available at embasic.org.

That being said, the EM Basic app costs only $4.99 and is available through the Apple and Android Amazon App Marketplace.

My hope is that you find this app useful,

and it adds value to the podcast for not a lot of money.

If anything, you can look at it as your way of supporting the Em Basic podcast.

Now let me talk quickly about how to get this app from the Apple App Store.

If you go and search for the EM Basic app, you won't find it.

Instead, go to the Apple App Store and search for Podcast Box. This is a free app that you can download, which
