Kai Wright: Hey, this is Kai. You may have noticed that your feed looks a little different right now. We got a makeover. Don't worry, it's totally the same show, just now with a new name and a new look. The reason for this is our show long ago outgrew the anxiety focus of our old title. That name fit our origin as a reporting project on the anxieties fuel into Trump movement and the response to it, but we've evolved and we're about a lot more than that now.
We've been inviting you into intimate, honest, and good-faith conversations about the country we want to create together. We wanted to better reflect that positive invitation. It's also part of another exciting change. Our show is now going to be distributed to public radio stations nationally. We've been airing on WNYC, here in the New York region for a couple years now, and of course, we have all of you listening from all over the world, but we're excited to now invite public radio listeners from cities and towns all over the country into our community.
Nothing changes for those of you who prefer to listen on podcast, but remember, you can always catch the full live show by joining us at 6:00 PM Eastern on Sunday nights. You can watch it on WNYC's YouTube channel, you can stream it at wnyc.org, or you can now ask your local public radio station to air it, if they aren't already.
Okay, that's it, but the point is new name, new look, same show. Watch your feeds later this week for a segment in which we unveil our new theme song too. You're hearing a little bit of it now, we're going to break it down for you, really get into it, all that base. I love it.
Finally, I know a lot of you have been with us from the very beginning, you have hung out with us as the show has evolved and changed over the years. We just really appreciate having you with us all this time. Some of you maybe you're finding the show right now for the first time. However and whenever you got here, just thanks for being in the community. Okay, talk to you soon.
