Hey there.
Shankar here.
Five years ago, we launched this podcast, not knowing exactly how it might evolve or how many people would want to listen.
Producing hidden brain for you has been the most rewarding work of my career.
It's been more than a job.
It's been a calling.
Now, usually, that kind of introduction signals we are going to be ending the show.
Fear not.
This announcement is about exactly the opposite.
We are planning to do more, build more episodes, more ambitious episodes, and connect with you in more ways.
Here's the context.
I don't quite know how this happened, but Hidden Brain has turned into something that is more than just a podcast.
It's an important part of many people's lives.
Listeners write to us every week explaining how the podcast gives them a chance to have deep conversations with family, an opportunity to reflect on a chaotic world, an oasis.
Your notes, the story ideas you've suggested, the personal stories you've shared have been a great source of encouragement and inspiration.
With your help, we want to do more.
We think there are opportunities for deeper connection, new shows, books, maybe even television and apps.
To do all this, we've started a new production company called Hidden Brain Media.
Our website, hiddenbrain.org, will be our hub.
You can continue to listen to our podcast on the podcast platform of your choice.
