Speaker 0 (00:00):
Hey there, I hope you're doing well.
This is a news update for youon several items for this
podcast over the next couple ofweeks.
First, the most exciting newsis that in a couple of days I'll
be recording an interview withthe legendary Grandmaster, Susan
Polgar.
I couldn't be more excited toshare that with you.
I'm still deciding on therelease date for that, but it'll

(00:22):
be in one or two weeks.
Still deciding on the releasedate for that, but it'll be in
one or two weeks Plus, and Iknow it's short notice, but you
can submit a question for SusanPulgar and I may select it for
our interview.
All you have to do is sign upfor my Patreon and respond to
the post that solicits questionsfor Susan.
Of course, by being a member ofmy Patreon, you get many other
benefits too, beyond just askingquestions of my guests.

(00:42):
But for this week that may bethe biggest benefit.
And just so you know, you'dhave to join my Patreon and
submit your question for Susanby Thursday, February 27th at
1pm Central.
That's Thursday, February 27that 1pm Central time, and the

So I hope you join.
I'd love to get a question fromyou to ask Susan Also, because

(01:04):
I'm spending a ton of timepreparing for my talk with Susan
.
There won't be a regular episodethis week, Sorry about that.
I just want to do a really goodjob preparing for her interview
.
I'm reading an entire book ofhers that she's about to release
and there's just a lot thatgoes into it, so I'm trying to
make that one extra special, oneextra special.

(01:25):
Finally, the last news I haveto share and this is exciting, I
think is that I'm going tostart recording my interviews on
video and there will be aYouTube channel where you can
watch video clips from futureepisodes.
This is a first for me in mypodcast's history and I'm very
excited about it.
I'm also very nervous aboutbeing on camera all the time,
but I think it'll be worth it.
And it's still to be determinedwhether I'll make full video
episodes available on theYouTube channel, but at the very

(01:47):
least, there will be two tofive minute video clips to watch
from each episode.
And, don't worry, I'll still bereleasing regular audio
episodes wherever you listen toyour podcasts, so that won't
change.
That wraps up the news I havefor you this week.
While there's not a fullepisode today.
There will be a very excitingone soon, in a week or two, with
Susan Polgar.
Thank you for listening to theshow.
