All right, before we get started today, this episode was brought to you by GoFundMe, started by the family of the dead bear cub that RFK Jr. left in Central Park.

The fact checkers that Jessica Reed Krause refuses to employ, Alex Jones's defunct legal team, Emily Oster's Wine Mom, Data-driven and Air Qu air quotes revolution and the billion dollar industry that is

podcasting like an expert about things you know literally nothing about, aka Kara and I trying to

aggressively elbow our way into that last one. Welcome to Diabolical Lies, baby. Okay, so before we

jump into it today, Kara, do you want to give us the TLDR on how things are

shifting on the platform side for us?

Yeah, so this is our first bonus episode, which means that the majority of the episode is

behind a paywall.

We have been planning for a while for this to be our first foray into what we've

mentioned in the past, which is creating like a subscriber supported podcast. So one episode a month

is subscriber only and one episode a month is available to the public. You can subscribe through

substack or you can subscribe through Apple Podcasts and pay that way. The first 40 minutes of every

paywalled episode are available to the public. And so as we were planning for this episode,

I had shared a little TikTok kind of teasing that we were going to be having this conversation

because so many of my followers often ask, like, are you going to have a conversation about

Barry Weiss and the free press? Are you going to talk about house and habit? And so I said that I was finally. And I got a message from one of my followers being like, Caro, I have bad news. She found out. She found out. And I was like, who found out? What are you talking about? Like, is she in the room with us right now? And as it turns out, she was. House and Habit kind of like baby doxed me. Baby ducks. No tags, though. No tags. No tags. Yeah, very above board. No free clout, Carol. Clout chaser. Basically, long story short, I guess someone had posted in a subreddit that is dedicated to, I guess, like snark around her had posted that we

were going to do this episode. And I guess that that is a Reddit thread that she enjoys checking

in on, stronger woman than I am. And so she posted a number of Instagram stories about me

that, you know, to each their own. And so she seemed pretty excited about this episode.

I'm sure the people who are in the house on fire subreddit are excited about this episode. So we

organized it such that the first section of this podcast today will be our deep dive on the

house and habit account. And the rest will be behind a paywall because we wanted to make sure that since there's been some conversation, everyone can access that.
