This May the Spade. May the Spade, obviously, for those of you who don't know, it's May the 8th, but should we explain this to people who don't?

So yeah, we do have some awesome announcements. Mujan, would you like to announce the first thing? Okay, this is a pretty cool one. We're very excited about this. We're an official audio selection of the Tribeca Festival, which is a big festival run by Robert De Niro, as far as we know. Ever heard of
Starting point is 00:01:56 it? We will not be meeting Robert De Niro, but our show is an official selection. We actually finished episode one of the Young Old Durf Chronicles ahead of schedule specifically to submit it for Tribeca and it's going to be heard for the first time ever by the Tribeca judges so we're super excited about that. Now the episode won't be played in its entirety at the screening it's actually a two-minute trailer that we've put together. The episode is only for the judges. But if you happen to be in town, if you happen to be coming to Tribeca anyway, obviously we'd love to see you.
Starting point is 00:02:30 It'll be a great event with a lot of other cool shows and interviews with the creators of those shows. And that's going to be on June 11th at 2.30 p.m. We'll put more information about all the tickets and everything on our website and on our social media. And on the Tribeca Festival website as well. Now listen, we're not going to ask you to travel across the country or across the world to come see a two-minute trailer, but we do have a couple additional announcements that might pique your interest.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Yes! And Alden, why don't we make them in descending date order, ending with the biggest of them all? Great! That's a great idea. Go ahead, Mujat. So first you got June 11th, ending with the biggest of them all? Great! That's a great idea. Go ahead, Mujan. So first you got June 11th, that's the Tribeca show. And then on June 8th, Sunday June 8th, we're going to be having a show at UCB not as members of Zix, but as members of Zix who aren't doing Zix stuff, doing a very fun show to honor podcasts called the We Have a Podcast Show. It's an improvised
