But there’s a unique twist to the podcast. Similar to those old "Choose Your Own Adventure" books, listeners can shape the outcome. At the end of each episode, they will be asked to make a choice about what Joule should do to determine the path forward.

For launch day, we're turning over the start of today's newsletter to  Dean's interview with WBUR...
