But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't explain to you the situation that you, the podcast listener, are in. There's been some confusion here among our podcasters. There's exactly what's going on in the last. Five podcasts, you've listened to completely produced hour-long programs. Yes, that's why we began RadioLab as a radio show hour-long programs, which we work very, very hard on. Yeah, I mean, I think of us as having two... We have RadioLab's for the radio, which are hour-long programs. Yes. And you've just heard a bunch of those. And then we have RadioLab's Just For You. You have a person who signed up. Those are called the podcasts. And we could do stuff on the podcast that are a little less formal. Yeah. And not that we're terribly formal on the radio. But it's just a looser form.

Really long. And have been great.
