Welcome to Food for Thought. This is Colleen Patrick Godrow. Of course you can always find all of my work at Colleen Patrick Godrow.com.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to bring the news to you officially that the Animology Podcast is now live.

The very first episode, well the preview episode called What Is Animology, a little different than the one I recorded for you,

is up on Animology Podcast.com and the very first episode, the first episode with rich content that I think you're going to love called Inauguration on a wing and a prayer is live. It's up. It's there. It's on iTunes. It's on Stitcher. It's on Google Play. It's on wherever you listen to podcasts and if there is a place

where you listen to podcasts and you don't hear it there, I was going to say see it there, but you

vital stage. This is the time for a new podcast when iTunes is looking at

downloads and subscriptions and ratings and reviews and I'm using iTunes as an

example because it is the largest place where people listen to

anybody is a listener on iTunes or those of you who are listeners on iTunes.

Please, right now, drop everything you're doing even pause this podcast and go find

Animology on iTunes or wherever you listen and download and subscribe immediately.

new audience, new eyeballs who have no idea what my work is about and who I think would be interested

in this topic in this podcast.

So please go right now, subscribe and while you're there, download the number of episodes that are there by the time you listen and leave a five-star rating

and leave a review. These are the kinds of things that matter. I am so excited to share this with you and

what I'm also hoping you can do is share the

podcast with others. You can go to animology podcast.com and that's where you're

going to see all of the episodes listed there. Each one has its own page, each
