Hi, I'm PJ Vote. I'm here to tell you about something new that we are trying over here at search engine.

We now have a premium version of our show called Incognito Mode.

It'll cost 50 bucks a year, or 7 bucks a month. We're heavily discounting annual subscriptions because that saves us a ridiculous amount of money on fees.

You can listen to incognito Mode wherever you already listen,

Apple, Spotify, Zoom, whatever.

But you have to sign up for it first at searchengine.

Show, otherwise it'll be invisible to you.

On Incognito Mode, we'll have a bunch of extras people have been asking

for. You can learn more about those extras again at search engine. show. We're very excited

about Incognito Mode. We've wanted for a while a place where we could

push ourselves to be looser and more experimental. Incognito mode is going to be that.

It's a testing ground for the kinds of ideas that feel like they belong in a more intimate setting, sort of our own personal fringe festival.

We are very grateful to our sponsors. They support our work. They offer products we're happy to tell you about, but in this environment, we just don't

think a new show is likely to survive for more than a year on ads alone, or at least not ours.

We're going to work hard to keep search engine special and to

make incognito mode special too, but honestly we're hoping the main reason people

sign up is because it makes them feel good to keep something that they enjoy up and running.

If you can't swing it, that's okay.

50 bucks a year is a lot of money, but if you can, we'd be very grateful.

We think the future of media, particularly small, strange projects like ours,

is going to look more and more like this. People unlearning a lesson the Internet's taught us,

which is that free things we love usually survive.
