Hi, it's Tom here. Before we get into this week's podcast, I just want to say a huge

thank you to everyone who has supported our show by listening, by subscribing, by sharing,

and most importantly by donating. Spiked content is free and it always will be. It's thanks to your

donations and regular donations in particular that we've been able to keep going and growing.

The spike podcast has now grown to a point where we're able to get sponsorship.

What that means for you is that there's another way that you can support us by checking out some of the

deals that we're able to pass your way, but donations are still by far the best and most direct way to support us.

So if you think that we're doing something right, saying what needs to be said, challenging what needs to be challenged,

then please do consider starting a regular donation if you haven't already.

Even five pounds each month can go a long way. So if you'd like to make a donation, you can do that by going to

spike to hyphen online.com and clicking on the big red donate button in the top right corner.

That's spiked hyphen online dot com and the big red donate button in the top right corner.

Thanks so much and now on with the show.
