Hi everybody, this is Roman Mars.

The following is a new podcast series that the 99% invisible team,

led by supervising producer Christopher Johnson, produced with proximity media

in partnership with Warner Brothers.

It's a companion to the new film, Judas and the Black Messiah,

and it's unlike anything we've ever worked on,

and unlike any other movie podcast in scope and ambition.

I'm so glad we're making it in conjunction with such an important and truly excellent film.

This is the first in a series of podcasts that I've been cooking up with my friend,

the filmmaker Ryan Coopler, who is a huge podcast fan, by the way.

It's literally the first thing we ever talked about when we met a couple of years ago.

The different podcast series at the Prox and 99Pi teams have been kicking around.

We'll tell stories based on proximity media, film productions,

as well as audio first podcast originals.

So give this a listen, watch the movie, and go subscribe to the Judas and the Black Messiah podcast,

and it's own feed to hear the rest of the episodes over the next five weeks.

And if you all subscribe, we'll get to produce a bunch more stuff together.

Trust me, you want that to happen.

You are going to flip out for the stuff that proximity has planned.

Follow the link in the show notes to subscribe,

for you listen to episode one right now.

Thanks.
