3 million to 1 million!

Hi there, listener. How are you doing?

I can't really hear you, so don't answer.

The truth is 10 years old today.

We have made so many stories over the years.

We've done every genre, we've done multi-part series, we've been live shows,

and there's just like so much stuff there.

And I know it can be overwhelming if you're new to the show.

You know, where do I start? How do I even know what I like?

So to celebrate our 10th anniversary, we asked folks on our mailing list

to tell us about their favorite true story ever.

And then I interviewed a bunch of them.

They're from all over the world, and they're really thoughtful

and some of the stories are so poignant.

And I had a wonderful time talking with all of them.

We'll hear from them later in the show.

But first, we also want to hear from you.

We want you to help us choose the best truth story of all time.

So we made a little game.

It's a bracket featuring 16 of the most popular episodes of the truth

from the last 10 years.

There'll be four rounds of voting.
