Hello, as I continue to navigate the new world we live in, you may have noticed that I've flipped on programmatic ads.

That's the way things have to be for now, but just as a reminder, all episodes of Revolutions, old and new, are available ad-free by going to patreon.com slash revolutions.

That again, patreon.com slash revolutions. Thank you so much for your support.
