0:00.0	Hey, it's Anna. We are sharing a very special episode with you this week, for a reason that's
0:06.2	bittersweet. We are saying goodbye to Death, Sex, and Money's longtime producer Katie Bishop.
0:12.3	For more than seven years, she has been my creative partner and the show's engine of productivity,
0:18.3	and we will miss her. She's got an exciting new job with the podcast company Criminal Productions.
0:24.5	So if you don't already listen to the shows that they make, including Criminal,
0:28.0	This is Love, Phoebe reads a mystery.
0:30.9	Here's another reason to get those added to your listening lineup.
0:34.5	When we were thinking about how to let you know about Katie's departure, I asked her
0:38.6	what has been the episode that she's been proudest to work on. And she said this one. We made it
0:44.0	back in 2015, and it's an episode about sibling relationships. It exemplifies what Katie
0:50.6	instilled in our team, which is a commitment to listeners' stories told with sensitivity

1:07.8	some updates about what's happened since. I hope you enjoy it.
1:11.8	And one more thing I want to tell you about, the paperback of my book, Let's Talk About Hard
1:16.7	Things, is coming out next week on May 3rd. And I want to celebrate with some of you. I will be hosting
1:22.4	karaoke sing-along book parties in San Francisco at Manny's on May 3rd and in New York at the Greenspace at WNYC on Friday, May 6th.
1:33.9	There are links in our show notes to get tickets. I would love to see you there. And for those of you who live in other places, I hold out hope that we'll get to do some sing-long karaoke together before too long.
1:45.5	Again, I hope you enjoy this episode.
1:49.5	Telling someone for the first time that I have a twin, and people get so excited, like,
1:53.7	they love to hear that. They're like, oh my God, like, well, what's it like? And I always
1:57.6	kind of have to preface it by being like, oh, well, you know, it's actually like pretty dark.
