Emily Wilson, thank you so much for speaking with us.

Now let's hear Tanya Mosley's interview with the actor Jon Bernthal, who plays Menelaus, King of Sparta, in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.
Here's Tanya.
My guest today, Jon Bernthal, has spent two decades playing the kind of men you'd want to avoid.
And somehow he makes you root for them anyway.
This summer, he's in two major films, reprising his role as the Punisher in the upcoming Spider-Man movie and starring in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.
His breakout role in 2010 was as Shane on The Walking Dead, a sheriff's deputy protecting a band of survivors from zombies until he becomes the greater threat.
He won an Emmy as Mikey, the brother whose ghost haunts every episode of The Bear.
And this year, he starred in the Netflix hit series His and Hers and appeared on Broadway in Dog Day Afternoon.
Bernthal says he couldn't have predicted any of this.
