Hey podcast listeners, it's Samir. I'm recording this voice memo from Florence, Italy. I'm actually here for my brother's

wedding, so I won't be on the show this week. And this month actually is going to be a little bit

different here on the Colin and Samir show. And that's because Colin's also getting married at the end

of this month. So we're going to be trying out some new things here on the

podcast feed. And I also wanted to tell you about an experiment we are doing on YouTube. We're doing a

new spin on our show, Creator Support. It's a separate channel. If you were listening to the show last

year, then you're familiar with this format. But we're trying a different spin on it. We uploaded a

behind the scenes video there. So if you want to check that out, that's live on YouTube now. Just go to Creator Support. All right, Collins taking over this week

on the show. So I hope you guys enjoy. Let's start with this. We do not intend to ban TikTok.

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bill that would ban TikTok in the U.S.

unless its Chinese parent company sells the social media platform.

We support that bill. We welcome that bill.

We do not see it as a ban, right? We see it as a divestment.

What it does in terms of allowing people to share information in a free way

and a way that allows people to have discourse is very important.

But we do have concerns.

Hey podcast listeners. This is Colin. We have a special edition of the Colin and Samir show today.

And that's because we're joined by both writers from the published press. We have Nate back again.

What's up? And we have Hannah. Hannah, welcome to the show. Hi, thank you for having me.

So today on the show, we are going to cover three stories that we have covered in the past in our

newsletter. We're going to be starting with the TikTok ban, if I can even call it a ban. That's kind of up for

debate. But first, Hannah, what are you doing in L.A.? I'm sitting in Smear's seat because I'm visiting you guys from Sunny Portland, Oregon.
