0:00.0	The following podcast is a Dear Media production.
0:04.6	Welcome to the bad broadcast. I'm your host,
0:34.5	and I'm so glad that you've decided to join me today on our first episode of
0:38.2	2026. We have so much to chit-chat about. We're of course going to talk about the things that we
0:43.5	are never giving up. A lot of times when people, you know, start a new year, they give things up.
0:49.1	They give up sugar. They start dieting. They give up alcohol. Whatever it is. We're talking
0:53.7	about the things that we are
0:54.6	not quitting. And also, we're going to talk about my resolutions from 2025, how I did on those,
1:02.4	and the plans for 2026. Also, there's no video for this episode today. That's my bad. If anything
1:09.5	goes wrong with the podcast, just know, it's my bad.
1:12.1	Literally, I couldn't even blame anyone else if I wanted to. But yeah, no video for this one.
1:16.6	As you guys know, I've been re-recording. So I'm recording this episode quite a bit in advance.

1:34.4	weeks ago and it was such a great trip and it's always good to be there. And I've been in a, not a funk.
1:42.2	A funk is not the right word. Maybe a transition, maybe a transitional phase,
1:47.0	maybe an exploratory phase. I've really been kind of dissecting my own, like, thoughts and
1:55.8	feelings and psychology around the podcast and my job and how it's evolved over the last six years. We're coming up on
2:04.0	six years of the podcast, just so you guys know. I was, sorry, let me do this math. I was 26 when I started
2:13.6	this podcast. I'm now 32. That feels insane to me. 26 year old Maddie feels like a completely
2:20.7	different person in basically every way. And that's kind of why I've been thinking about this,
2:27.0	because it's been very interesting to have the same job from then till now. Like, obviously, that's not crazy.
