Hey everyone, it's Talley. I just wanted to update you on first day back. We are hard at work on

season three and are following another story that is unfolding as we speak. Look for it later this year.

I am super excited about it. It's really different from season two, and I hope you'll love it.

In the meantime, I wanted to give you a taste of an all-new series here at

Stitcher by my friend Jonathan Hirsch. If you liked first day back, you should listen to this.

It's called Dear Franklin Jones, and you can subscribe right now in your favorite podcast app.

Jonathan's family growing up was a little different. His parents followed a controversial spiritual leader named Franklin Jones.

To Jonathan's parents, Franklin Jones was a god.

But to people outside the group, he was a cult leader.

Now Jonathan is going back, trying to find out what what happened and whether the group really did become a cult.

Here's a preview of the show.

You can find the first episode right now in apps like Stitcher and Apple Podcasts.

Totally absent. My parents truly believed Jones was our benevolent master, a god.

We were on a path, and it's hard to explain how that would be so, but it was.
