Hey folks, this is Kevin. Just a few words before we start.

Well listen, we are still in this situation where we're very much under the radar.

Most of the press, most of the entertainment press. If all of our fans, or hell, even a third of our

fans, tweeted or emailed to the following publications, I think we could really get their attention.

You know, we've never been able to afford a publicist or a marketing department.

And almost three years in, we're getting a little antsy about the fact that we're doing

such great work. The fans get it. Listen to some of these.

This wrist band named Russell K wrote, your story helped inspire my 18 year old step son to stop

using drugs. I do believe that this podcast really did change him. David S wrote, your podcast has

changed my life for the better in many ways. Susan H wrote, I love risk. It's given me the courage

to be myself and be honest. Matt B wrote, what you do is of incredible importance. And Aaron wrote

in, I will finally speak to my family about what has happened to us. Thank you for this podcast.

Risk fans know that there's plenty of entertaining podcasts out there, but this one has something

special. The way that people share on this show, as if they're just speaking to their closest

of friends about the most sensitive of subjects, it changes people. Both the storytellers and the

listeners. So if you have ever felt that this podcast did you some good, made you feel a little

more connected to humanity, got you looking at things or doing things a little bit differently.
