Hey everybody, before we get going, I want to take a minute to let you know about some of the stuff we have coming up over the next few weeks and months.

Because we've been doing a lot of conversational episodes recently.

It's been a while since we've had the kind of long reported stories that we

launched this podcast with.

So today we're going to play one of those early stories.

And then over the rest of the summer, we're going to take you places.

We're going to go to Indonesia for a survival story that spans more than 40 years.

And then we're coming back home for a multi-part series on wildfires.

That I guarantee you is going to go places you don't expect it to go.

Then this fall we're launching another multi-part series that's probably the most ambitious project we've ever done.

And I can't really say more than that about it yet.

So while you're waiting for those stories, I want to tell you about another show that you'll probably enjoy from the magazine

Mother Jones.

The Mother Jones podcast looks at each week of news and dives in to help explain what's

most important and why.

Sometimes they'll take you inside the headlines

and give you the story behind Trump's travel ban.

Or they might introduce their latest investigative project,

like the one on the scandalous tactics

of pharmaceutical companies using to push doctors to prescribe opioids.

So if you like good audio and you care about what's going on in the world,

check out Mother Jones. And enjoy today's show.
