Heavyweight Has a New Home

Hello.

Khalila.

Hi.

It's Jonathan.

Yeah, I know.

I have a caller ID.

So, you know, how you're calling me almost every day, asking me what's going on, when's the show coming back?

My headphones are getting rusty.

When can I get back to making some narrative journalism?

Right.

Well, I have some big news.

Do you like that?

Okay.

I'm not used to hearing you in that mode.

You better get used to it.

Okay.

I know it's been a minute.

A good long, year-long minute.

By the way, I'm recording this.

Is that okay?

Yeah, I got that.

What tipped it off?

The way that you're over-explaining everything to me in an expositional tone.

Would you call it good broadcasting or bad mansplaining?

I would call it good broadcasting, probably bad management, you know.

That I'm, that I'm sharing this news with you.

Right.

If you're making this call in your capacity as my boss, I don't know about that.

Okay, so you ready?

I'm ready.

You and you and I and Stevie,

the show of Heavyweight has found a warm and welcoming new home with Pushkin Industries.

Yay.

I'm also, I think we're like probably the worst people to be doing this because I'm not so good at something thrilled either, but I genuinely am excited.

Pushkin makes the kind of stuff that very ambitious storytelling.

And

I'm very proud and excited to be a part of it and to announce this new news.

And you know what this means?

What?

It means that we're going to be back with brand new episodes.

That's true.

And we're going to be doing some other fun stuff in the meantime, maybe some check-ins, some shorter episodes.

So stay subscribed to the feed so you know when the new new episodes are dropping.

And please, please tell your friends, tell your ex-friends, tell your ex-lovers.

I don't love the use of the word lover there, but yeah.

Tell strangers on the subway, shout it from the rooftops.

I was just going to say shout it from the rooftops.

So excited.

Yes, we are.

So excited.

Yeah, the way you say excited is really.

All right.

I'm very pleased.

There we go.

That sounds more like you.

And excited to be making this happy announcement.

So, thank you for sticking with us.

And

we'll talk to you soon.

Yeah.
