Hello, Go Fact Yourself listeners. It's

0:08

Helen. And Jay Keith. We've got

0:10

a brand new episode for you

0:12

dropping next week, but we wanted

0:14

to break into our usual podcast

0:16

stream right now to update you

0:18

on some GFY news, including a

0:20

chance to chat with us and

0:22

your fellow listeners this Saturday. Why

0:24

this Saturday, Helen? Because here's the big news.

0:27

It is official. We are going to be

0:29

on the air on public radio station LAist

0:31

89.3 FM out of Pasadena,

0:35

California. All

0:39

right. Now I know we announced this before

0:41

our launch got delayed. We're really sorry about

0:43

that, but all is well. It is now

0:46

happening for sure. Contract signed episodes delivered. Put

0:48

it on the calendar in pen. Pen. Our

0:51

first episode hits the air this Saturday,

0:53

October 12th at 10 AM Pacific right

0:55

before wait, wait, don't tell me. And

0:57

we want you to listen. If you're

0:59

in the Los Angeles area, tune every

1:01

radio you have to 89.3 FM. And

1:06

if you're outside of LA,

1:08

get every device you have,

1:10

phone, laptop, tablets, smart thermostat,

1:12

whatever. Go to laist.com and

1:14

listen to a live stream

1:16

of the show. That's laist.com

1:18

and click on the big

1:20

listen button at the top of the page.

1:22

Then open up another window and join us

1:24

for a live chat as we all listen

1:26

along to the first radio episode, I'll be

1:28

there. Helen, you'll be there. And we hope

1:30

you, our listeners will be there too. We

1:32

might even have a couple of special surprises.

1:34

We're going to post the link for the

1:36

live chat on our website at go factor

1:38

pod.com under live shows, or it might be

1:41

on the show notes of the episode you're

1:43

listening to right now. Anyhow, that's

1:45

Saturday, October 12th at 10 AM

1:47

Pacific. And if you miss our live chat, you

1:50

can still listen to the episode when it re-airs

1:52

Saturday at 5 PM and Sunday at 8 PM.

1:55

Then come back every weekend because

1:57

we're on the schedule well into

1:59

next. Next year, every Saturday

2:01

at 10 a.m. Pacific on LAist

2:03

89.3, the

2:06

episodes you'll hear on the radio will

2:08

be adapted from our podcast episodes. Rest

2:10

assured, loyal listeners, you podcast folks will

2:13

always get an extended version of the

2:15

show, and you MaxFun members

2:17

will always get even more of the

2:19

show thanks to the bonus content feed.

2:21

You know we release bonus content at

2:23

least once a month, right? That's pretty

2:26

great. And there's lots more to come. Oh

2:28

yeah, that's sweet, sweet Boco. Yeah,

2:30

and just to be clear, the content of

2:32

the radio shows will be different from what's

2:35

on the podcast. In fact, this first episode

2:37

has an entirely different opening banter. We wanna

2:39

make sure that there's a good reason to

2:41

listen to both versions. And once you do

2:44

listen to the radio version, head over to

2:46

our page at LAist to play a special

2:48

trivia game we'll have for each new episode.

2:51

That will be at laist.com/gofactyourself, and we'll be

2:53

live by the time the first episode airs.

2:55

Thank you all so much for your patience

2:57

as this radio stuff came together and went

3:00

away and came back, and we're so

3:02

excited to have you join us on

3:04

this next step. We couldn't have done

3:06

it without you. Yes, truly, truly, thank

3:09

you. All right, onto some other news.

3:11

We've got live audience shows coming up,

3:13

and we'd love for you to be

3:15

in our audience. Next up is Saturday,

3:17

October 19th at the Crawford in Pasadena

3:19

with scheduled guest director Barry Sonnenfeld and

3:21

from the hit Netflix show, Nobody Wants

3:23

This, actor Jackie Tone. Then on Saturday,

3:25

November 9th, we're back at the Crawford

3:27

with guest actor Michaela Watkins. And on

3:29

Saturday, November 16th, we head

3:31

over to the Center for Inquiry in

3:33

Los Angeles with guest Chris Grace from

3:35

Superstore. And our last show of the

3:37

year, Wednesday, December 11th at the Crawford

3:39

with guests to be announced. All shows

3:41

are at 7 p.m., and

3:44

updated guest and ticket info is

3:46

always at gofacturepod.com. Okay,

3:48

and now speaking of gofacturepod.com, Helen, I

3:50

have to tell you and our listeners

3:52

something. Okay. I was wondering,

3:54

gee, it's been a while since I received

3:57

a what's the difference suggestion from one of

3:59

our listeners or some pleasant. feedback or a

4:01

hello or even spam. And so

4:03

I went to our site on the insides

4:05

and I realized all the messages

4:07

had been arriving. They just hadn't been forwarded to me. Oh

4:10

no! So I discovered there are

4:13

several months of messages that I

4:15

simply have not gotten. Oh my

4:17

gosh, listeners, we've been unintentionally ghosting

4:19

you. Yes, yes. It

4:22

was, the site may be haunted.

4:24

It's just in time for Halloween. So my apologies.

4:26

There were a lot of messages for us to

4:28

go through. I'm gonna go through all of them.

4:30

I will reply as they warrant. But so sorry

4:32

if you've written to us and thought we were

4:34

ignoring you or that it got lost. I guess

4:36

it did get lost. Didn't make its way to

4:38

me, but we will get to those soon. We

4:40

would never ignore you, believe me.

4:42

We cherish every single one and

4:46

we love those reviews, believe me. Send

4:49

more. Absolutely. Yes, please. Oh, and speaking

4:51

of reviews, please, if you haven't already, do write

4:53

us a positive review on your favorite podcast platform

4:55

with all these episodes that we're making. We've got

4:57

more reviews that we need to read and we

4:59

are running low. All right, I think that's

5:01

it. Helen, you got anything else? No, I'm just really

5:03

excited to be on the radio. All right,

5:05

that's it then. Thank you so much for listening and

5:08

thank you for putting up with all the Mishigas and

5:10

we'll look forward to sharing more exciting news soon. We'll

5:12

see you next time. Bye everybody. Catch

5:14

you on the radio and the podcast or

5:16

both. Yeah. Yeah.

5:19

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

5:22

Yeah. Maximum

5:25

fun. A worker owned

5:27

network. Of artists owned shows.

5:29

Supported. Directly. By you.
