Hello, friends. Before we get going this week, I have some good fun things to say. We are coming up on the final run of episodes in the Martian Revolution. After this week, I will be taking a week off, so there won't be an episode next week. But when I come back, it will be for the final six episodes of the Martian Revolution. That's right, there's only six episodes left. We are

officially approaching the endgame. But what I want to do right now is put a few things on your

collective radar. First, there will be Martian Revolution merchandise available at

cotton bureau.com slash Mike Duncan. We are finalizing the designs as we speak, so is it available yet? No, but I do want you to get

hyped for it. In the meantime, you can right now go to Cotton Bureau.com slash Mike Duncan for all of

your revolutions and history of Rome merchandise needs. The other thing is that I've got this

notion that what I really want to do is a live in-person reading

of the final episode of the Martian Revolution right before it drops into the podcast feed.

So I'm going to be in New York the last weekend of May, and that is when the final episode

of the Martian Revolution is set to drop. I have no idea how many of you out there would come

to such a thing, but to help me gauge interest,

I have set up an Event Bright page. So if you'll be around New York the last weekend of May and think you can come to such a thing, let me know, and we'll try to secure an appropriate

venue to fit everyone who wants to come. So the link to that Event Bright page is in the show

notes. I'm not going to say it because it's just a

bunch of like random numbers and symbols. Finally, I want to once again say thank you so much to

everyone who has become a patron at Patreon. And if you go to patreon.com slash revolutions, or I should

mention patreon.com slash the history of Rome, you'll be able to get all these episodes ad-free for smooth listening.

Thank you so much for supporting me.

I know you all just want me to keep doing this forever, and if I can, I will.

So go to patreon.com slash revolutions.

Thank you so much.

And now let's get back to Mars.
