| 0:00.0 | Hey, fans of history is gay, we have a very special episode for you today. |
| 0:21.3 | We are going to be doing a collaboration with the podcast Queer's Fact, which is from Australia. There's some friends of ours. They're pretty awesome. So we really hope that you enjoy what's coming up. But we just wanted to give you a heads up because it's going to look and probably sound a little bit different than usual. Yeah. And while you've got us in your ears, we also wanted to announce a couple of other really exciting things. |
| 0:25.7 | We just launched our Patreon page. Woo! Woohoo! Um, so yeah, if you are, um, if you're looking |
| 0:32.5 | for a way to support us in doing what we do, this podcast takes a lot of time and some money to produce that Gretchen and I have been doing just because we really, really love it. You can support us in a couple of different ways. We're going to set up on our website a support link, a new little top nav bar, and you can support us on Patreon by going there, or you can do a |

| 1:01.5 | it's at patreon.com slash history is gay. Yeah, we wanted to highlight, if you're interested, |
| 1:07.5 | we wanted to highlight some of the levels and perks that we have for our Patreon supporters. |

| 1:46.1 | with some other cool things, but those are the ones we wanted to kind of highlight for you guys |
| 1:50.7 | because they seem to be more readily accessible to a lot of our fans. There will be even |
| 1:55.1 | opportunities for you guys to, you know, if you're back at a $50 level, which is insane to us. |
