Yeah. So this is my second season working with Andrea. Nobody should believe me. And I'm so glad to still be on the team and to have worked with this amazing crew to have made this incredible season that was both heart-wrenching, intense, but also very, I think, editorially rewarding by the end of it. And I think this team really had a lot to do with that.
Um, and then I also edit, if y'all want some, some giggles, some ha ha's, some to he's after some, uh, really intense, nobody should believe me. I also, um, produce and sound design a show called one of us with Finn and Chris, uh, which is like a part improv part interview show. Andrea has been a guest on that show as well. It was bananas. We went into the fridge of the bear.
It's a really silly good time. And then I also work currently work on the ACLU's podcast at Liberty with W. Kamau Powell. And so we're doing a bunch of know your insert rights here. So we just had an episode come out about the current state of disability rights. So definitely check that out.
You can say as much as little as you want, Greta.
I can also just humble brag on you, Greta, because you do an incredible job of helping to really keep the process moving forward. Like you do such great work. I don't, it's like beyond what an, I'm so glad you've actually, so here's our other humble grab brag is that Greta is now producing our case files episodes for the week to week.
So, um, she's been promoted and moving on up because she's an incredible, uh, ear for story and cutting tape down and taking our monstrous three hour long sessions where we dive into other cases week to week and getting them down into manageable pieces. Um, as well as to help make sure that we are telling great stories during the documentary seasons as well. So Greta does a great job.
I've got to work with her on multiple projects, and I'm always so happy that we get to stay a happy little team. So that's my brags on Greta.
Yeah, it's got to happen. And like, you know, there's networks out there who put way more ads and on their shows than we ever do. And they put them in willy nilly places. So I like to think that we take good care to make sure they're at places where like an ad break should be. You know, it's not in the middle of sentence. Yeah. they're supposed to be. But yeah.
And if anyone's ever interested in the business of podcasting, it's wild out here. I mean, the fact that like, it's like, I'm like, Nicole has an incredible show. Why aren't these giant networks just like cutting her a big fat check to make her incredible show? This is insane to me. But yeah, it's wild out there, y'all.
And I can tell you, I've worked on really big network shows that have very large budgets. And they put just as many, if not more ads on their shows. And They have the backings of giant tech companies. And like Andrea said, we're a little indie show who is paying everyone their wages as instructed by Air Media. We follow all of our guides.
We pay everyone their correct rates for all the work that they do. And that is something we're proud to do. But it does take ad revenue to do.
I am also wearing a full Quince outfit head to toe.
I can also jump in, too. I think we told you what people thought about things, and we didn't ever put a value judgment on those things. I think we got a lot of feedback, especially around Dr. Turek's explanations of what these particular... And we want to be specific.
Dr. Turek did research about the actual churches that Sophie attended, not the larger branches of evangelical Christianity as a whole, although she's also an expert in that field, literally has a PhD in
And teaches about the use of religion and how it interacts specifically with the government, which we thought was a really great place to come from in this season, since we're talking about medical care, which is something that does have oversight issues. with government agencies that has oversight from boards. A lot of these hospitals are nonprofit. So there's a lot of like intersecting.
It's a government agency. Right. And so, which is what part of the reason we reached out to her. So, you know, we, she dug into these different particular churches and just made the statements of these are the beliefs of this church, which were things like they were anti-trans or they were
You know, were outspoken about particular topics in the zeitgeist of the news where they stood on different things happening in the news. And so, you know, just because all of those things were in a row, people who had big reactions to them didn't. Obviously, there's big reactions to have around a lot of these topics. These are big issues.
But they also, I think, were important to know where Sophie was coming from and how she was relating to her place in the world, how she viewed how she talked about adoption, how she talked about race in general, how she talked about politics and how that intersected with the care and the nonprofit she was working with. Anyway, it's a giant spider web of things.
And so like, we tried to make sure we're not like out here being like, all evangelicals are bad. We were saying, these particular churches have these particular views. And here's how they intersect with what's happening in the household that Sophie is bringing these children into and working within these systems to abuse these children. Yeah.
Interesting to me what people always assume is like gets dumped in the bucket of politics, because to me, most of this season was like, besides the mention of like the political leanings of pursuit, which is very apparent, it's on all their social media pages, they literally take out billboards in Andrea's town, like driving around, you can see them. So they are very vocal about what they believe.
