| 0:00.0 | Hey gang, a quick housekeeping note before you dive into this week's show. |
| 0:05.6 | You may have heard me saying over the past few weeks that we now live stream the show |
| 0:10.1 | on WNYC's YouTube channel each week. |
| 0:13.0 | We are super excited about that, and I do hope you'll tune in for it when you're down |
| 0:17.4 | for a live experience, but alongside that change, we're making a change to the podcast |
| 0:23.2 | feed as well, because you know, we get it that if you're listening on demand, you want |
| 0:28.5 | more control over win and what you download. |
| 0:32.1 | So starting this week, we'll drop individual segments into the feed rather than the whole |
| 0:36.8 | show each week. |
| 0:38.6 | So you'll get our lead segment on Mondays as usual, and then later in the week, you'll |
| 0:42.7 | get the second segment. |
| 0:44.4 | And if there are more than two segments, we'll figure that out when the time comes, but |
| 0:48.8 | you get the idea. |
| 0:50.2 | So hopefully that gives all you podcast listeners a little more of the control we know you |
| 0:54.9 | prefer, and when you want the whole show, or you're down for a live listen, head on over |
| 1:00.0 | to YouTube. |
| 1:01.0 | Either way, I just asked that you'd lean in and listen actively. |
| 1:05.5 | If you hear something that sparks a thought or a question or a story about yourself, |
| 1:10.3 | speak up, email us, call us, tweet us, whatever works for you, but please don't keep it to |
| 1:15.4 | yourself, because you know, maybe it will help someone else in the community, and maybe |
| 1:19.3 | it'll give us an idea for what we need to produce next. |
| 1:22.4 | Okay, that's it. |
