| 0:00.0 | Hello, wait for it listeners. I hope you're enjoying the show. And I want to invite you to check out another |
| 0:06.2 | Owets Big Ronde studio show called Leaving the Theater. Leaving the theater is a television and film |
| 0:12.0 | review podcast that started with me reviewing movies as I walked out of the theater immediately |
| 0:16.8 | after seeing them. It's now expanded to include me reviewing television and streaming titles on my |
| 0:21.8 | couch as well. These are the freshest take on what we just watched, and it's a lot of fun. On each |
| 0:27.9 | episode, I talk with my movie-loving friends or colleagues from other podcasts, and we rate whatever we |
| 0:33.2 | watched from one to five stars. If you're an overththinker like me, you'll enjoy agreeing and disagreeing |
| 0:39.0 | with my analysis. Again, that's leaving the theater available everywhere you listen to podcasts. |
| 0:45.8 | Hello, wait for it, listeners. It's me, Ronald Young Jr., and I am currently producing |
| 0:51.2 | season three. We have so many interviews recorded and I'm working |
| 0:55.7 | through all of them and writing episodes and getting everything together to release them |
| 1:00.3 | very soon, hopefully in October. But if not October, not long afterwards. Podcasting and especially |
| 1:07.1 | audio podcasting is a little weird right now with lots of layoffs and there's not a lot of money in making narrative shows anymore. |
| 1:13.9 | And in the two years since I've started making wait for it, a lot has changed in the fat liberation and body positivity space. |
| 1:21.2 | So it's been pretty difficult thinking about what's most important to talk about and the best way to connect with y'all and keep |
| 1:28.6 | making the show. However, I'm figuring it out as I go and we will have brand new episodes |
| 1:34.5 | coming to you very soon. In the meantime, I have one announcement to tide you over. We're doing |
| 1:41.2 | another live recording in Boston with special guest Katie Sterino. |
| 1:46.0 | Katie is a body acceptance advocate and the founder of Megababe. |
| 1:50.3 | There's more details about her and her work in the show notes of this episode, but she |
| 1:54.6 | and I were recently on an episode of NPR's Life Kit together, and we hit it off, and now |
| 1:59.8 | she's joining me for a live conversation. |
