Joel Heitkamp [00:00:00]:
Welcome to the Hot Dish, comfort food for Rural America. I'm Joel Heitkamp, hosting all by myself. Heidi is recovering today, so she left it to me. And I have some fun announcements today about the future of the Hot Dish. But first, remember guys, your thoughts and opinions matter to us. We want to hear what's happening in your neck of the woods and what you want to hear from us. Email us your thoughts. Our email address is podcast@onecountryproject.org. That's podcast@onecountryproject.org. And follow the One Country Project on Bluesky and Substack to keep up with us.

Joel Heitkamp [00:00:44]:
And now for the first announcement. The Hot Dish will soon be a weekly show starting on the 15th of October. The Hot Dish will be released weekly and we'll also include videos of our interviews and conversations on YouTube and other podcast platforms. That's starting October 15th, everybody, two weeks from today. We're excited to be able to offer you timely interviews that always focus on our mission here at One Country Project, highlighting the impacts of decisions in Washington, D.C. on rural communities and people. So get excited to look at this handsome mug or just see that I'm a lot younger than Heidi because it'll be coming to you soon. And we have one more announcement for y'all.

Joel Heitkamp [00:01:29]:
We're doing a live show. We'll be coming to you live from CrookedCon on Friday, November 7, so keep an ear out for more details on how to attend our live show. And we can't wait. Thank you for joining us today on the Hot Dish brought to you by One Country Project, making sure the voices of the rest of us are heard in Washington. Learn more at onecountryproject.org.
