Hey everybody. I am so excited about my new announcement that the interview with Leslie Heaney will now be forever called Duologue. I thought I'd give you all some background and sort of how that came about. You know, the podcast we launched, it'll be two years ago this November, and since then we have released 88 episodes. And in that time I've gotten some feedback that our title, which we loved and thought it sort of captured what we're doing right, which is interviews, is a bit generic. So it's difficult for people to find the podcast. And also the New York Times, you know, while what's the saying sort of imitation is, you know, sometimes the greatest flattery or whatever, however that saying goes, while it's very flattering to have them name their podcast after my podcast. And of course it's so generic, the interview that you can't trademark it or anything anyway, so that was a bit confusing there that they named their podcast the Interview 2. So we're excited about Duologue. Duologue is a conversation between two people, and while sometimes we have more than one guest on the podcast, it pretty much captures what we do here, which is have conversations with really interesting people, wonderful people. And I sound like Trump saying wonderful people, beautiful people, but really inspirational people who have either great personal or career stories to share, or experts in their field who can help educate us on a bunch of different important topics of the day. So, so excited about the new name launch. In addition to that, we have a new website and we have a new substack called the Duolog Diaries in which I'll be sharing kind of behind the scenes or more information about the topic that we covered on that episode or that podcast episode. But also some subscriber only content of different offerings and fun sweepstakes and other kind of sort of insider behind the scenes information that won't be covered in the podcast or as part of the free part of the substance. So I hope you'll subscribe. And we also have some great, exciting merchandise, Duolog merchandise that's out, so go check that out too on the website. But most importantly, I just want to thank you all so much, friends and family and listeners, for all of your support of the podcast. It's been a wonderful two years. I'm excited to see what's next and it is what it is, obviously because of you and your support and your listening. So thank you so much for all of that and I hope you're excited about this new name and new launch as much as I am. Tomorrow is my first episode. Back with the incredibly inspirational Ali Truitt, who is a Paralympian and founder of a foundation, Stronger Than youn Think, and had a documentary that just came out about her journey from an amputee after a shark attack to her triumph at the Paralympics in Paris. So she's an inspiration to me. Her story is just one that I think will uplift us all. Truly and so excited for you to listen to that tomorrow. Until then, signing off on Duologue and hope you'll all tune in tomorrow.
