This is Tangle. Good morning, good afternoon and good evening and welcome to the Tangle Podcast, a place where you get views from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking, and a little bit of my take. I'm your host, Isaac Saul. It is Thursday, October 9th. Back in the saddle today. Thank you Ari for stepping in yesterday. I was actually up in New York City at a media operator summit. Pretty cool experience. Lots of really interesting people doing awesome stuff in the media space up there. Just brilliant independent creators. Also had a genuinely moving, one of the most emotional moments I've had related to my work with Tangle. I got stopped by a woman up there who maybe is listening to this podcast. If she is. Hi. Thank you. This made my day. Who kind of did a double take on me and asked if I was Isaac from Tangle and I said yes, I was. And she immediately got emotional and kind of teary eyed and told me that the Tangle podcast had rescued her relationship with her father. I took it a more liberal Maybe Democratic voter and her dad was a Trump supporter and they weren't really on speaking terms, it sounded like or their relationship was really strained and because of the podcast they were kind of able to have a common ground to meet each other at. And she got kind of emotional telling me and I started getting choked up. And it was a nice, it's a really nice reminder of like why we're here in some ways. You know, I'm not and have never claimed to be trying to get everybody to agree or hold hands or, you know, it's not as wishy washy as that. But it is amazing and rewarding to just hear that you can present the news with a lot of viewpoint diversity and it can heal some divides. So thank you for that story. It really truly was the highlight of my day, my week, and it got me really motivated for some of the work today. To that end, I have a couple really fun announcements at the top of today's podcast. First of all, next week we're launching something new, which is not something we do often. We're launching a new once a month newsletter and podcast called Press Pass. This is going to be a behind the scenes newsletter and podcast for paying members only. And the idea is that we're going to release it once a month and the goal is to just be more transparent and engage with our audience. And our ideas for the newsletter are going to be things like what are we working on behind the scenes at Tangle? What challenges are we facing? What problems do we have that we're trying to solve? How's the business doing? What's happening in the media space? We're going to profile a staff member every week and then we're going to open the door for you guys to give us feedback directly with surveys or call outs for help formulating ideas. We're going to let you shape the future of this news organization which we're really pumped about. I'm really pumped about. I get so much clarity when I hear from our readers. And you know, I'm conscious of not just doing what readers want. We don't want to be audience captured. But it's super exciting. So if that sounds interesting to you, if you want to pull the curtain back on who does this thing, who's building this product you listen to every day, or what sorts of challenges we're facing internally, what kinds of criticisms and feedback we're getting from our audience that we're trying to address. This is going to be an awesome way to engage and it's only going to come out once a month, so it won't be adding a bunch of clutter to your inbox or your podcast feed. But we do want it to be a premium product for our most loyal audience members, which are our subscribers. So if you want it, you can go to retangle.com membership go to our website, click membership. Subscribe. You can subscribe to the newsletter to get it via email, or you can subscribe to the podcast get it via podcast, or you can subscribe to both to get it via both. That's one. Number two, we have an awesome new YouTube video out. The YouTube channel is so fun for me because John and Aiden and Will and Ari and all the people who participate on crafting YouTube scripts, they make these videos in the background and sometimes I'm really involved, but oftentimes I'm not and then I just get to see the product come out. As a consumer, this is an awesome one. John did a deep dive on data centers, the giant, boring looking windowless buildings that are popping up everywhere that you've probably noticed these huge facilities full of tons of, I don't know, wires, computers. What are they doing, why are they here, what purpose are they serving? And how come it seems like more and more of them are popping up all across the country? This is a huge story, especially with AI blowing up and demanding so much more of this. So I was really interested in some of the stuff that they found in their research. It's a six or seven minute video. It's not long, but it's jam packed with fascinating information. The edits are awesome. It's a great video. You can go to our YouTube channel by looking up Tangle News on YouTube and checking the video out and, and of course be sure to subscribe, Be sure to like it. You know, just engage with the video and that'll help us in the algorithm. All right, with that I'm going to send it over to the man I'm mentioning, John Law, and he's going to break down today's main story, which is the peace deal in Gaza, which is a huge story, massive story, and a positive one is a good story. And then I'll be back for my take after you hear from the left and the right and some views from the Middle East.
