| 0:00.0 | Hi, everybody. Welcome to Scoop. It's great to see you today as we start off a brand new week together. I just spent the last several minutes organizing all my different pages. I have like 25 different pages around my desk. Do you still, are you so old fashion? Are you vintage like me? I still need to take handwritten notes. |
| 0:23.6 | I know there's easier, more eco-friendly ways to get organized for scoop, yet I still print out |
| 0:29.9 | everything because it's helpful for me to actually see it and read it and underline it. |
| 0:34.3 | And so that's my little confession as we start off. I didn't want to miss this, |
| 0:37.9 | though. I have a shout out. We're going to start off slightly different than we have in the past. And I really think maybe this could start maybe a new tradition for us and get you more involved in the program, which is something I would love to be able to do. In fact, one of my goals for the next several weeks is figuring out how we can get |
| 0:54.3 | phone messages from you so we could play it like a call-in show. I think that would be great. So we're |
| 0:59.7 | going to work on that. But this is a special message from Matthew over Instagram. And I wanted to |
| 1:05.3 | read this to you. And Matthew, I really appreciated this. He said, hey, Jenna, I know that you have |
| 1:09.1 | mentioned on the podcast version of your |
| 1:10.8 | reports that you are unsure of its reach. I just want to let you know that I really appreciate the podcast. |
| 1:17.4 | As a West Texas oil field worker, I am often in areas with poor self-service. Having the podcast |
| 1:24.8 | automatically downloaded in the morning and then being able to listen later in the day works great for me. So thank you for putting your reports into the podcast automatically downloaded in the morning and then being able to listen |
| 1:27.6 | later in the day works great for me. So thank you for putting your reports into the podcast |
| 1:31.6 | format. I really appreciate it. Matthew, I really appreciate that. You know, when I started |
| 1:36.5 | smarter news more than five years ago at this point, my goal was quick and concise, non-partisan |
| 1:42.7 | information. And I wanted to start with my peers. |
| 1:45.5 | You know, I'd interviewed CEOs for years at that point. |
| 1:48.1 | Every time there was a successful CEO that I interviewed, they always talked about knowing |
| 1:51.8 | your audience. |
| 1:52.5 | So I was like, what is the audience that I need to know? |
| 1:54.9 | I'm going to start with, you know, thinking about what do I need to do to serve multitasking |
| 1:59.2 | American women. |
