please head over to iTunes and leave us a five-star review. It does help people find the show,

and the more listeners we have, the better. Now, another way that you can support the show

is to join our Patreon group. Just head over to www.com and down at the bottom of the page,

you'll find a button which says Patreon on it. Click that and you'll be taken to our homepage. For just

$5 a month, you get access to the episodes, commercial free,

a week before the general public. You also get transcripts of the episodes, a bibliography,

for each season, and access to the Patreon-only series 1983, the year the world almost ended.

only to Patreon's, the first of which I'm working on right now. So please, head over there and

join us. If you're into the social media thing, head over to Twitter and follow me. My handle is

at American Hiscast. You can also join the Facebook group, which I recently created.
