Hello everyone and welcome to Talk Nurdy. Today is Monday, April 23rd and I'm

your host Kara Santa Maria. Now I want to thank those of you who have made

talk nerdy possible this who have made Talk Nurdy possible this week.

Remember Talk Nurdyism will always be 100% free to download and the way that I support the show to make sure that everybody

can listen to it for free is through a few different things.

You can go to my website, kara Santa Maria.com, and click through the links to the talk nerdy store.

You can buy merch that supports the show.

Obviously I sell ads on the show that's another

good way to support it but the main way honestly the bulk of the support comes from

support that's the word I keep you saying comes Comes from the help of listeners like yourself.

And I use Patreon because it makes things really easy,

really streamlined, and I think it really is a good tool for you,

the talk nerurdy listeners.

So if you go to www.

Patreon.com slash TalkNurdy,

you can see how to support the show.

What you do is you pledge a certain amount per episode. You can also pledge for other

shows per month like The Skeptics Guide to the Universe, the other show I work on, and

you set a limit and then that limit gets divvied up so it's really helpful you'll never go over budget and

you get all sorts of perks like me calling your name out on air so let's go

ahead and thank those of you who supported at the $25 or more level this week and that includes

Jeffrey Sewell, Brian Holden, Gabriel Felipe Herrumille Gonzalez, Jafe, the Honorable Husband, love that name every time.
