[hip hop music] Snap Studios. Yes, yes. Snap Nation has spoken. Snappers have told me, "Hey, Glenn, we love some Snap. We'll ride for the show, but we need that ad-free feed. We wanna see behind the curtain." I heard you. And finally, Snap Plus is here. [gentle music] Subscriber-only, extra Snap storytelling, ad-free listening. And a few times a year, we'll gather the stories, the storytellers, the team, and you, the whole Snap family. You know that public media is under attack, that stories that bring us together don't have the armies of corporate dollars behind them. What they have is us. What we have is you. Snap Plus is how Snap Nation fights back. Snapjudgment.org. Yes, we kept it super affordable on purpose. Hit it. Tell us what you think. We wanna hear from you. Snapjudgment.org. Today on Snap Judgment, we're bringing you episode three of our Fire Escape series, the story of a woman whose world burned down before she learned to fight fire from behind bars. If you haven't listened to the Fire Escape previous episodes, you'll wanna start at episode one. Sensitive listeners are advised.
