Hello free first hour subscribers.

Greg Carlewood here and over the years some of the main things I've heard about the full two hour plus show and the membership are things like,

oh, I've been meaning to sign up for a long time,

but have just been lazy, or that the first hour sounds so good and complete

that it's hard to feel like you're missing that much or assess the value of a second hour.

Basically the old adage you don't know what you're missing.

And I understand that point. I don't really like to tease things in that sort of way feels to sleazy salesmany. So I thought about how I could

address that, what I might be able to do to convince more free listeners that it's worth converting over for.

And there really is no better way to do that than showing free listeners what a plus show is like.

Or how much more a second hour might contain.

And that is my plan here at least for a while and we'll see how it works out for me

One older Plus Show in the free show feed every month at the end of the month as a sort of peak behind the plus curtain because people

who are members hear full two-hour interviews in a single file it's a little

different from the way other people in this space do it where they split the hours into two separate files

To me as a listener that's annoying. It's like flipping a tape from side A to side B

I don't really want to deal with that when I'm in the middle of flipping a tape from side A to side B.

I don't really want to deal with that when I'm in the middle of something else.

Just keep it going.

It's also a waste of the listener's time to hear two wrap-ups

and two introductions trying to get back into the vibe. So that's why I do it like

I do it, it does confuse people sometimes. Which means that for these free feed sample episodes, if you feel like what you're hearing

is too fresh in your memory, skip ahead about 50 minutes and just pick up from there,
