Summary

Getting into the swing of things here with monthly Ask Me Anything episodes. If you missed the explanation last month, there is a Patreon page for people who wish to support Mindscape with a small donation per episode. Benefits include a warm feeling, social status, access to ad-free versions of the podcast, and the ability to ask questions once per month, which I answer over the course of a hilariously long podcast. Thanks to the generosity of Patreon supporters, we are now making the fruits of these monthly adventures available on the regular podcast feed.

Here is the December 2020 edition. Note that there won’t be a January 2021 edition, as I take a break from podcasting for the holidays. Have a good one everybody!

Support Mindscape on Patreon.

0:00.0	Hello, everyone. Welcome to the December 2020. Ask me anything
0:03.8	addition of the Mindscape podcast. I'm your host, Sean Carole. As
0:07.2	you probably know, last month's AMA, which is done for Patreon
0:12.8	supporters, you can always support Mindscape at patreon.com slash
0:16.7	Sean M. Carole. Patreon supporters get to ask questions for the
0:21.6	monthly AMA and they voted to release the answers to the general
0:26.4	public. So we sort of tentatively did that half-heartedly a few
0:30.5	months ago on YouTube, but it wasn't really quite part of the
0:34.6	regular podcast feed. Last month was the first time we did it for
0:38.2	real on the podcast feed. And so the good news is that got a few
0:42.4	more Patreon supporters, all of whom want to ask AMA
0:45.2	questions, which is great. So we have some new listeners here.
0:49.0	And this is the first, this is the first month where it'll be
0:52.8	exactly the same podcast being released the episode, including
0:57.0	this introductory part. So hello, everyone, who is a new
1:00.2	supporter. And thank you to all the supporters that we've had for
1:03.8	a while. This is a great tradition we have. And also just so you
1:06.8	know, we're not going to have a January 2021 ask me anything. I
1:12.4	take a couple of weeks off from the whole podcast thing for the
1:16.1	end of December beginning of January. We all need to take a
1:18.6	break, even podcasters like myself. So the next AMA will be I
1:24.6	will put up the post asking for questions at the end of January
