Hey everybody, a couple quick things before we get started.

First off, welcome to all of our new listeners who found us through this American life.

This week and next week, we're re-broadcasting a couple of our most popular episodes ever.

It's kind of a two-parter, so you should tune into both.

Then on April 13th, we're coming back with a whole season of new episodes.

Lots of great stuff coming.

We'll be doing another round of kids asking a comedian unanswerable questions.

The comedian will be Lauren Lapkes this time.

We'll also be talking to a clown.

Yeah, that's complete with fart noises and squeaky noises and a ping pong ball that somehow

gets thrown at me.

And here's the big one.

We are very excited to be having Terry Gross on the show.

Yeah, the public radio icon, Terry Gross.

She'll be talking about her decision to not have children.

And she'll also confess her recurring nightmare to me.

You do not want to miss this.

Make sure you are subscribed to the longest shortest time in iTunes or wherever you listen

to podcasts.

Also, tickets are going fast for our speed dating for mom friends event in Chicago.

Steven Kate's camp is going to be giving away three free days of camp to everyone who comes.

This is happening April 9th at the Graften in Lincoln Square.
