Hey, it's Shozett, or Lizzard, host of Rhythms

00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:07.419
of Progress, where we explore how music and artists

00:00:07.419 --> 00:00:09.839
are the unsung heroes of political movements

00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:12.800
and social advancements. First, I'd like to say

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:31.429
a big thank you to everyone listening.  US, thank you,  Philippines, salamatpo,. Germany, vielen dank. Mexico or Mexico, gracias. Japan, Arigatōgozaimasu ありがとうございます,  India, Dhanyavaad (धन्यवाद).

00:00:31.429 --> 00:00:34.770
Hopefully I said all of these correct and did not accidentally

00:00:34.770 --> 00:00:37.929
swear at anybody, which, as a language learner,

00:00:38.189 --> 00:00:43.289
I have done. Also, we made you a playlist. The

00:00:43.289 --> 00:00:47.030
link is in the description. Stoney handled the

00:00:47.030 --> 00:00:49.630
beats, I handled the snacks and guess who knocked

00:00:49.630 --> 00:00:53.049
over the coffee? Me. I will be having a cleaning

00:00:53.049 --> 00:00:56.369
party while listening to these global grooves.

00:00:56.829 --> 00:01:00.450
But really, thank you. We are building our community

00:01:00.450 --> 00:01:03.429
across oceans and languages because the earth

00:01:03.429 --> 00:01:05.890
belongs to all of us and it is up to us to take

00:01:05.890 --> 00:01:08.310
care of it and each other. And if that's one

00:01:08.310 --> 00:01:11.290
thing, it's that music and art remind us we are

00:01:11.290 --> 00:01:14.730
one world. Also, a big thank you to everyone

00:01:14.730 --> 00:01:17.989
watching me figure out how to repost on Instagram.

00:01:18.409 --> 00:01:22.870
Am I amazing at it? Absolutely not. In fact,

00:01:22.989 --> 00:01:26.189
the other day I posted parts of Chisa's episode.

00:01:26.890 --> 00:01:29.609
And somehow I paired it with a language that

00:01:29.609 --> 00:01:33.230
sounded awesome, but I did not recognize. And

00:01:33.230 --> 00:01:37.450
the amazing DJ Stoney looked at me, walked away,

00:01:37.730 --> 00:01:41.890
backwards, while blinking. So I'm going to interpret

00:01:41.890 --> 00:01:45.709
that as, hey human, you're doing alright. Keep

00:01:45.709 --> 00:01:47.890
fumbling through it, but just keep doing it.

00:01:48.829 --> 00:01:51.709
You might have noticed episodes are taking a

00:01:51.709 --> 00:01:55.010
little bit longer to drop. Life hit me with a

00:01:55.010 --> 00:01:58.299
couple of plot twists. Literally. As you know

00:01:58.299 --> 00:02:01.739
from episode 2, a person ran a red light and

00:02:01.739 --> 00:02:05.780
ran me over. So rude. I didn't even get a soundtrack

00:02:05.780 --> 00:02:10.159
or slow motion, just boom. Stoney sometimes looks

00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:13.680
at me and says, Rest, human. You're not a stunt

00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:19.120
double in an action film. The truth hurts. But

00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:22.860
all is good. I'm healing. So I'm doing what I

00:02:22.860 --> 00:02:26.919
tell you to do. It's to honour your rhythm. And

00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:29.860
doing something else that I think most of us,

00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:32.900
at least I find difficult, is to practice patience.

00:02:33.219 --> 00:02:37.199
So, the show must go on. Even if it's slowly,

00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:42.000
it must go on. Meow. We have so many fun episodes

00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.039
coming your way. Like the one with a brilliant

00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:49.020
engineer and producer, Elia Einhorn. So stay

00:02:49.020 --> 00:02:52.240
tuned. And remember, honor your rhythm.
