Hi guys firstly a quick thank you for supporting me the past two and a half years

the podcast has gone from just four listens in its first month to getting 250,000 a month

and rising fast now in January 2023.

I got to meet my heroes from Richard Dawkins, John Ronson and Amanda Knox,

to Robbie Williams and David Bedeel, and I couldn't have done any of this without you guys which is rather obvious

because then no one would be listening and the podcast wouldn't generate any

income and even if it did it would feel a bit weird and the podcast wouldn't generate any income.

And even if it did, it'd feel a bit weird

just making all this work to throw out

into the ether with no one listening.

So thank you not only for listening,

but for being a supportive community for reaching out to say nice things about the podcast which really does right in my day

for reasons I can't yet talk about but boring contractual things I am making a change.

I always wanted all of my episodes to be available for free.

Maybe that was naive, but my hand is being forced and one of the three episodes per week will be going

behind a paywall from February onwards. There's exciting news too, so keep listening. I will

endeavor to keep at least two of the weekly episodes

free and available to everyone on Monday and Thursday mornings so for Americans

and people those are the ones and I guess they come out Sunday and Wednesday

evenings but the Saturday morning or Friday I guess they come out Sunday and Wednesday evenings.

But the Saturday morning or Friday evening episode

will now only be on Patreon.com
