| 0:16.1 | Thanks so much for your help in keeping this independent show going. |
| 0:19.6 | We can make this program with you, but not without you. Thank you so much, Nicole help in keeping this independent show going. We can make this program with you, |
| 0:21.1 | but not without you. Thank you so much, Nicole. And again, thanks to all the patrons. For those of |
| 0:27.7 | you who might be listening to the preview of this program and aren't yet patrons, we deal |
