I'm Lauren Pacelle and you're listening to Pretend, a stories about real people pretending

to be someone else.

And today you're hearing the voice of someone else.

I'm not have air, but I'm here to interview him because he's made 100 episodes of Pretend

and that's a lot.

So we're going to sit down together and go over the past 100 episodes together, episode

by, no, I'm just kidding, it's just a really long show.

We're just going to talk about what he's learned, some favorite moments, and kind of just

celebrate the last 100 episodes.

So hi, heavier, welcome to your show.

Lauren, thank you.

You know, when I started realizing that I was going to, creeping up to 100 episodes,

I, a lot of shows have 100 episodes or more, a lot of episodes.

But for me, 100 episodes is a lot.

It's like, that's 100 little documentaries that I've been able to produce within four

and a half years or just, it floored me.

And so I thought, well, that's a big catalog of work to talk about and who, who can I invite

on my show that could really dig into the library.

And so I thought of somebody, Lauren, who is like a podcast and cyclopedia, she, I mean,

you should check out her newsletter.

I'll have a link in the show now.

It's, it is fabulous.
