'''Eric Weinstein:''' Hi, it's [[Eric Weinstein]]. Um, just to put it simply, we're blown away. We've just released the first episode of The Portal, which is my new show. And, we had a response and reaction that we really couldn't have imagined. So while we have several shows in the can and we have some great interviews lined up, instead one of the producers asked me to simply come in and do an extended extemporaneous riff to say what the show is likely to be about. Now, there was no script, there was no preparation, and there'll be a little bit of light editing, but more or less, what we thought might be interesting is to have you in on the ground floor.

If you're listening and subscribing at this point in our history, you deserve to know how we're thinking, what's up next without having all of the rough edges rounded and polished for your listening pleasure. So it's going to be a little bit imperfect, but I hope you'll enjoy what comes next, which is an improvisational riff on where we may be going with the show, The Portal. I hope you like it.
