We don't have anything behind a paywall, like a bonus episode or anything like that. That's a Spotify issue. Yep. They did something like an update with their system or something like that. We have been begging to get that removed, but it's across the board, I guess, like an update that happened, and they have yet to be able to remove it.

We don't have any bonus episodes behind a paywall, nothing like that. What you are seeing as quote-unquote bonus episodes that look like they're locked, I think it shows you like that it's locked or something like that. What those are is they're showing our Wondery Plus week early episodes as bonus episodes behind a paywall, which is not what they are. It's a very misleading thing.

It's very frustrating. We understand why that would be like, what the fuck? Yeah. Like where are these bonus episodes and why are they behind a paywall?

Yeah. You don't, if you, wherever you, you know, this is, I think this is a Spotify issue only. So if you go to other platforms, you're not going to like, I listen on Spotify too. So I'm not like shitting on Spotify.

But if it bothers you to see the fake bonus episode that doesn't exist, you can go somewhere else to listen to it.

Yeah, let them know that it's really misleading because we want it taken down as well because we have been getting a lot of feedback that you guys think that we're putting bonus episodes behind a paywall. And I promise you we're not. We will never do that. We're never going to put bonus episodes behind a paywall. No.

It's just not something we're going to do where it shows up in your feed as like, oh, you want to listen to this? Go pay money because it's not in our real feed. It's not our vibe. That's not the vibe. So I promise you, we'll reiterate this at the beginning of the next few episodes too just because I want everybody to know that it's not a bonus episode behind a paywall. It's just not. Promise.
