| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, Christian here. Got a couple of announcements for you before this week's episode. |
| 0:05.7 | First, you may have noticed in the past that we've been including content warnings in our show |
| 0:12.0 | notes for anything that we think kind of goes beyond the pale of the typical tone of our show. |
| 0:19.0 | There's a lot of reasons for that. We've talked about it in other places, |
| 0:22.7 | but the needle to thread there is always trying to tell you all enough that you can make |
| 0:29.6 | informed decisions about your mental health, but not tell you so much that it ruins the fun of, |
| 0:35.1 | you know, listening to the plot. And the way that we've tried to strike that balance in the past |
| 0:39.9 | is to bury the content warnings at the bottom of our show notes. |
| 0:44.6 | But a few people have written in to tell us that that's not as helpful as it could be |
| 0:48.7 | because sometimes maybe you're listening in your car or whatever the case may be |
| 0:52.9 | and you can't read the show notes before the episode starts playing. |
| 0:57.0 | So for now on, what we're going to do is, since some episodes have content warnings and some don't, the episodes that do have content warnings will get a very short announcement at the beginning with no details. |
| 1:10.2 | It'll be something like, |
| 1:11.7 | this episode of the Once in Future Nerd contains material, which some listeners may find |
| 1:16.9 | especially upsetting. Please read the content warnings at the bottom of our show notes if you have |
| 1:21.8 | concerns. That way, hopefully people with specific sensitivities will know that maybe they ought to check the notes, but everyone else won't risk having any plot information spoiled for them. |
| 1:34.5 | And we want to take this opportunity to thank the people who wrote in to give us feedback. |
| 1:39.6 | You know, there's a lot of judgment calls that go into making a project like this, so it's |
| 1:44.3 | always helpful to know how all of you are feeling. |
| 1:48.2 | So please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns. |
| 1:51.2 | We can't promise that we will always enact what you want because we've got the wishes |
| 1:56.0 | of a whole diverse fandom to balance, but we promise that we'll listen to you and take what you say |
