0:00.0	Pushkin. This is talk easy. I'm San Frigoso. Welcome to the show. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Hey everyone. Thank you for joining me on this very special episode of the
0:47.3	podcast. Today, Talk Easy turns five years old. And now I suddenly feel old just saying that. If you're
0:58.3	listening right now you've probably made that possible. Since 2016, we've released over 220 episodes with artists, activists, politicians, and once my mother. The goal being to create a program that looks backwards and forwards to
1:18.2	slow down and process. And for five years we've done that as an independent show. No institutional backing, no corporate
1:27.2	apparatus. Everyone at Talk Easy is here for the space we create each week for the guest and most importantly you.
1:38.6	That's why this month to mark the five-year occasion we're launching a Patreon campaign where listeners like you can
1:46.8	support the show through monthly or one-time donations.
1:51.0	Of course, Talk Easy will always be free.
1:54.0	I don't believe in putting a premium on our archives or charging per episode.
2:00.0	For the sake of accessibility, our doors will remain open to anyone that wants to listen.
2:06.2	But if you can afford to support the labor and love that goes into this show every Sunday.
2:13.0	We are asking you to do so at Patreon.com
2:16.7	slash talk easy.
2:18.8	That's Patreon.com
2:21.2	slash talk easy. I know these are trying time so if you can't make a financial contribution that's
2:27.6	all right simply raising awareness for this campaign or sharing the show with a friend is plenty helpful. We are a
2:35.4	listener supported program and the best way for new people to find our work is
2:40.9	through you. So I thank you in advance for the love and support. However that takes
2:47.8	shape, I appreciate you showing up for listening and getting behind what we do here. Now to celebrate the anniversary and
2:59.3	the launch of this campaign I wanted to revisit a few of my favorite passages from the past five years,
3:07.0	moments and stories and bits of wisdom that have stayed with me. Maybe you'll recognize some of these pieces. To start, let's go to the
3:16.3	fall of 2019 where I sat with documentarian Errol Morris. He's built a career out of curiosity and I wanted to get to the heart of that before playing a clip from his film, Gates of Heaven.
