Hey there, it's Ira with a quick message before the podcast starts.
Maybe you heard the little announcement episode that we dropped into the feed a few days ago.
But if not, I just want to say here.
We just launched a new subscription version of our show and we did that like I explained in that episode, because the podcast industry has changed in ways that have affected everybody's ad revenue.
We're making a third less from advertising this year than we have in recent years.
And so we needed to replace that money and we wanted to do it in a way that could also be kind of nice for our listeners.
And so we launched this premium subscription version of the show that we're calling this American Life Partners.
And the idea is that if you subscribe, you get an ad free version of the show.
You get exclusive bonus content, stuff that we're going to put out regularly only for subscribers, and you get a brand new greatest hits archive.
