Hello everybody. This is Glenn Lowry, host of the Glenn show. If you're seeing this, you

subscribe to the show, you follow the newsletter at Substack, or you follow us at the YouTube channel or perhaps all three. I appreciate your

interest in the work that we're doing here at the Glenn Show and your support of this very important effort.

It's a very important effort in my life.

I've gotten so much satisfaction and gratification from the work that I've been doing here at the

Glenn Show for many years and have gotten real satisfaction as well from the audience that we have cultivated here at the Glenn show.

So it is with a heavy heart that I inform you that I'm going to be out of commission for a while.

I'm not going to be doing this show for a number of weeks.

We will continue to post new content. I have recorded some

conversations in advance with interesting people whom I hope you will enjoy

listening to my conversation partner

every other week John McWhorter will continue to appear every other week and will take over as host of the Glenchild during the period when I'm out of

commission. It's going to be at least a month and maybe more. Here's what's going on with me. I've got some serious arthritis problems in my lower spine.

I have got spinal stenosis with a vengeance.

I can barely stand on my two feet for more than 10 or 15 minutes at a time without experiencing

excruciating discomfort.

I can't walk very far without needing to sit and rest before I continue the journey.

I do get my exercise. I use my bike a lot and I have a

stationary bike in the basement that I hop on and I have a personal trainer whom I

visit several times a week to work out.

I've lost 30, 35 pounds over the last year.

My heart's in good condition.
