Hi, it's Jeffrey Kraner and I'm so happy to bring you our sixth season of Within the Wires.

Thank you to all our Patreon members. If you want to help us pay our actors,

writers, musicians, etc. go to patreon.com slash within the wires.

There are bonus episodes there and directors, notes, and regular zoom hangouts with me and

my co-writer, Janina Matheson. If you've never listened to Within the Wires before, that's fine.

This is just as good a place as any to start. Each season is a self-contained narrative set within

the same universe. And if you have listened to our show before, you know we do 10 episode seasons

with new episodes every two weeks. Well, that has changed. This year it's still 10 episodes,

but new episodes come out every Tuesday, so they'll be out weekly now. Oh, and before we start,

I must remind you that Janina and I wrote a novel. It's called You Feel It Just Below The Ribs,

and it comes out November 16th. It's a fictional memoir of one scientist's unusual life,

including the price she pays to survive and the cost her choice is hold for the society she

is trying to save. This novel is tied to the Within the Wires podcast, but it is a completely

standalone story. Booklist called You Feel It Just Below The Ribs, a thought-provoking haunting

story about the sacrifices a society is willing to make to ensure its survival. And publishes

weekly in their review. Very good review says readers who enjoyed dystopian tales and unreliable

narrators will find much to dissect in this haunting heart-wrenching novel. Y'all I'm biased,

but it's a really good book. We'll have announcements soon about live book release events with

special guest moderators and excerpts from the audiobook version. That's all coming soon,

but if you're a fan of our work, please pre-order a copy today wherever you get your books.

Pre-ordering helps authors more than you can know. There's a link in the show notes for more

information. Okay, I have talked long enough. Here finally is season 6 episode 1.
