0:00.0	Hey there, it's Alex. You may have heard at the end of our episodes the phrase, normal gossip is a proud member of Radiotopia, but maybe you don't know what that means. The media industry is kind of garbage right now, and it is harder than ever for independent creatives to own their own work, get paid for their work, and to make a living off of their work.
0:22.3	Radiotopia is trying to make that possible for more independent creators.
0:26.4	They're really great partners for us, and we have been so happy to work with them.
0:31.6	Every year, Radiotopia does a fundraising drive, and right now we have a goal of reaching
0:36.8	2024 donors, and maybe one of them is you.
0:41.5	Your donations in the fall fundraiser go into marketing, ad sales, technology, and it also
0:49.0	makes it possible to bring on new shows in the future. So maybe your next favorite podcast is just around the
0:55.3	corner. If you are a normal gossip or defector subscriber, that is different. If you donate during the
1:01.6	fall fundraiser, you'll get a link to a curated list of all Radiotopia producers' favorite
1:06.7	things as a token of thanks. I included something in there. You will never guess what it is.
1:13.7	If you're listening to this episode right now, you are already supporting the work of normal gossip,

1:33.9	awesome listeners who support independent podcasts. Thanks.
1:41.9	Hello and welcome to normal gossip. I'm Kelsey Bikini, and in each episode of this podcast,
1:51.7	we're going to bring you an anonymous morsel of gossip from the real world. I am thrilled to welcome
1:56.8	back to the show Tobin Lowe. Tobin is an editor for This American Life who manages a team of producers pitching, reporting, and structuring stories.
2:06.1	Before coming to This American Life, he also co-hosted Nancy, a show about the contemporary queer experience, and also served as a producer for Radio Lab on the first season of More Perfect.
2:15.5	His work has appeared on Marketplace, Studio 360, and the
2:18.4	Codebreaker podcast, Tobin. Welcome. Hey, I am so happy to be back, truly thrilled. Oh, my God,
2:25.5	we're thrilled to have you. If you listen to the podcast, you may remember Tobin from season
2:29.7	two, episode five, personality of a tan wall, or from our San Francisco live show, Tobin,
