Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well. Hi, my name's Caleb Herron. And I'm Shelby Wolstein. And we're making a brand new podcast with HeadGum called Keeping Records. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. We basically don't have a ton of time, but the gist of the podcast is, in 1977, NASA

sent two golden records into space, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. And on it was like a bunch of images and writings, and the idea was that if someone found it, they would understand life on Earth at that time. Right. These records had songs and images and greetings in different languages and basically our podcast is going to be dissecting those things from the original golden records and talking to our friends about what they might put on new

records if we sent them into space today. And it would mean the world if you would give it a listen. And like and subscribe Guys, honestly, like, if you could just, like, give it a listen It's been, like, a weird year for me and Shelby, like, explicitly, like, exclusively Just, like, if you could, like, do, like, the bare minimum

And just, like, put it on before you go to bed Or, like, on your way to work Or, like, when you're cooking Or, like, literally any time, like in the shower, like. Jake and Amir are threatening us.
