We have another bumper issue of the FRB Newsletter as we head towards the FRB 2024 meeting in November. Excitingly, we have a large set of new host galaxy determinations from DSA-110 FRB localizations, as well as a CHIME repeating FRB localized to an extremely faint dwarf galaxy with EVN observations, among a whole set of cool new FRB results. Enjoy!
