Hey folks, you're about to hear episode 99 of secretly incredibly fascinating.

Nine, nine.

I've been running a membership drive from now until episode 100, and you can count.

So yeah, this is the final week of that drive.

This is it.

Here's all you need to know for the final week of the drive.

We've hit a bunch of the goals already. And so those are getting fulfilled.

And I'm putting that stuff out and doing those new things for patrons and some of them for

listeners in general. There's a set of further goals that depend on additional financial support.

I can't do them without your help. So if we make it happen within this last week of the drive,

I'll go ahead and do them.

And if we don't, I need to put them on the back burner. I need to focus on what I can do with this

show with the support it has. One good example of all that is the very next goal for the show,

which we might have hit if we had an amazing day or two between when I tape this and now. But

the next goal is to do

regular and frequent and consistent live episodes of the podcast. And one of the key building blocks

of that is guest pay, because I've always paid guests on the live shows even before we hit that

guest pay goal. And it pays more than a regular episode. And so there's expense there. Without that additional support, I just can't do live shows very often.

So that's the pitch for this last week.

If you jump in and support the show, maybe we hit new goals.

Maybe we can do new things.

If you don't, we don't.
