Now, you can use these voice messages for lots of things. You can use them to say hi and tell us how much you love us, the we'd prefer you did that in a five-star app review, or you can send us your own weird facts. Send us those weird facts by September 2nd, and we'll compile our favorites into an episode made up entirely of user submissions.
