Pushkin Hello, Tim Harford here. I'm delighted that so many of you have signed up for the Cautionary Club, our new Patreon community for listeners, where we share bonus episodes, a member-only newsletter, and we take your suggestions for future episodes. We're excited to announce a new opportunity for the club. If you join before the end of the year, you'll be a Cautionary Club founding member.

And as a founding member, you'll be able to peek further behind the curtain and receive an invitation to a live online table read of a future Cautionary Tales episode. For each narrative episode, the whole production team gets together to hear me read the script for the first time and make editorial suggestions. Now you'll have the chance to see that process in real time and ask our team questions in a live video call. We love hearing your feedback to episodes, so this time we get to do it live.

The table read will take place in early 2026. If you sign up before the end of the year, you'll be a cautionary club founding member and will receive an invitation to our table read. And if you've already signed up for the cautionary club, not to worry, you are automatically a founding member and you'll get your invitation shortly. If you have any questions,

don't hesitate to shoot us a note at info at pushkin. If you'd like to sign up, head to patreon.com slash cautionary club. That's patreon, p-a-t-r-o-n dot com slash cautionary club. We look forward to seeing you there.
