| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another edition of the Byron New York Show, the no-ship chat podcast. |
| 0:12.1 | We have a very special program tonight. |
| 0:15.1 | First of all, we're actually recording this live at the Kirby Center of Hillsdale College |
| 0:21.0 | in Washington, D.C. |
| 0:23.0 | And unlike most podcasts, which I just talked, we have a very, very special guest, Molly Hemingway, |
