Hey, it's Gregory, host and creator of Rough Translation.

You probably heard the news.

NPR is facing a budget shortfall and will be stopping production of their

seasonal shows, including Rough Translation.

I want to thank you for all the tweets and emails of support you've sent us

in the last week.

They've been absolutely amazing to read.

You told us that Rough Translation kept you company on your travels.

And when you were stuck at home, unlocked down that our story showed you.

There was a space for you in the world of journalism and made you think about

what it means to be human.

I'm here to tell you the two things that I think will be good news.

First, we are not saying goodbye to NPR just yet.

We have an incredible summer season that we are hard at work on.

It's about love and about family and about democracy.

It's about what happens when your duty to family gets weaponized.

It's a collaboration with NPR's international desk.

And we're going to tell you a lot more about it here in the coming months.

And finally, something special to announce, something just for you.

Because sometimes you ask us questions like, how did you find that story or

whatever happened to that kid, Rodin from season three,

or you just want to know more about the people that actually make Rough translation.
