Welcome back or welcome to the Single Track podcast. I'm your host, Finn Milanson, and before we get

started, I wanted to make an announcement. I have decided to create a Patreon for this media

operation. If you've gotten any value from this show over the past nine months, please consider

making a monthly donation. Why am I doing this you might be asking?

Because I want to do more.

I want to do more research for each episode.

I want to publish more interviews.

I want to do investigative journalism type work, documentary style work.

I want to travel to races to do more in-depth race coverage.

In short, I want to devote my full attention to content creation on behalf of

this sport, but I'm at my capacity. The current bottleneck is my time. I have a 9 to 5 job,

and I fit this podcast and weekly newsletter into the early mornings and late nights of each day,

as well as the weekends. It's certainly a passion project, a labor of love, and frankly, I will keep doing it,

even if I can't make it my life's work.

But I do hope it becomes more.

I want it to be the main thing.

But I can't do that without the help of this audience, people like you.

So if you feel compelled to make a

contribution, go to patreon.com backslash run single track. And no worries if you can't or don't

want to. I promise this content will always be free and open. Either way, I appreciate your

consideration and above all else, you were listening to each episode.

With that, let's move on to the show.
