The tale of old Jonas, he was swallowed whole of my well, that's good tale, but this ain't that tale, this is listener mail.

Listener mail.

Hello, you are listening to topics, listener mail.

This is a really fun weekly, sometimes weekly segment of the show where Michael Ian Black and I get a chance to answer your mail.

And we do appreciate your mail. Of course, you can always send us an email

with a question or a comment at Topicspodcast at gmail.com. Mike, how are you? I'm great. I always look

forward to this because it's our chance to hear our words reflected back at us through the listeners.

And that is always such a treat.

And we're getting great responses.

You know, ever since we've been a part of the Earwolf family,

we're just getting all kinds of well wishes and congratulations. And the outpouring of a response has just been fantastic.

Yes.

And we just have a few emails that we're going to answer today.

Our first one comes from Jonathan Chandler. And he has a

really interesting question for us. He writes to us that there's no topic study group in his

town. And because of that, he's forced to drive to the nearest group, which is all the way in Atlanta, Georgia.

And he's curious to know if Topics does any kind of travel reimbursement for expenses accrued during these trips.

This is something that's come up a lot because obviously, you know, Topics is kind of the umbrella for the topic's study groups.

And some people have taken that to mean that as a franchise, as it were, of the Topics umbrella, that you are entitled to travel expenses.

Some people are looking for meal money.

Some people just want some mad money so that they can have parties or pizza parties,

roller-skinned parties, whatever, for their study groups.
