Hi, I'm Frances Fry. And I'm Anne Morris. And we are the hosts of a new TED podcast called Fixable.

We've helped leaders at some of the world's most competitive companies solve all kinds of problems.

On our show, we'll pull back the curtain and give you the type of honest, unfiltered advice we usually reserve for top executives.

Maybe you have a coworker with boundary issues, or you want to know how to inspire and

motivate your team.

No problem is too big or too small.

Give us a call and we'll help you solve the problems you're stuck on.

Find fixable wherever you listen to podcasts.

Hi, everybody. This is Alex, host of Hyperfixed. I just wanted to drop something in the top of the episode really quick for a couple of reasons. And the first is to say that we are unlocking a premium episode as our main feed episode this week, which is not something we were originally planning on doing.

We were working on a story that we expected to run, and frankly, it kind of got away from us.

I don't know how else to say it.

One of the weird things about making a radio story is that sometimes you can sit down, do a bunch of interviews, and feel like there's a through line in it, a beginning, a middle, an end, just like some satisfaction to it.

And then when you sit down to write it, you're like, wait, I have more questions.

I need to talk to more people. This story needs to go back in the oven. And that's what happened with the episode that was planned for

this week. We're not abandoning it. It will come out. But, you know, when you're a staff of four,

sometimes another story can be kicked into high

gear and put out, but we just didn't have anything in the hopper that was quite finished

enough.

So we are running a premium episode that we released a couple weeks ago, and it's a very fun

one because it came out of our interview that we did with Astrid, the person who wrote

in for our fonts story,

which aired on the main feed.
