Hey folks, this is episode number 46 of secretly incredibly fascinating.

Four, six. And if you've heard any of the past few episodes, you know I want to give you

digital art to celebrate episode 50.50. I'm running a membership drive toward that goal and

toward other goals too. I'm excited to say all of those membership drive

goals are extremely reachable. We can totally do it. And they're reachable because this show has what I

consider a great problem, just a fantastic and awesome problem. Here's that great problem. I give away the main show here

in this free feed where you're hearing this message. And that means the audience of the podcast

is much larger than the group of listeners who actually support the podcast. Most people are

just enjoying it for free. A tiny group of people is actually funding it, is actually making

the research and editing and guest booking and blood, sweat, and tearsing possible by, you know,

finding about a dollar a week. That's all it costs. That group has tons of room to grow,

and here's my dream with that. I dream of 10% of this podcast audience supporting the show.

If a mere 10% of you went to SIFPod.Fod.fund, checked out the membership drive goals and then

back them, we would blow out all of them. We would be completely done and then some by a wide

margin. And that's why I think this is a great problem. I think it's pretty

easy for us to get to 10% and to get there. I know some of you just don't have the means to

support this podcast right now. And I totally understand that and I'm rooting for you. I'm also

pretty confident more than 10% of you do have the means to support it. So if you're able to

come through, if you're able to back SIFPOD, this drive would be over. A bunch of immediate

benefits would come your way. A bunch of future benefits would come your way. And this podcast can

keep on airing, keep on being a thing. Again, that's SIFPod.fod.fund to back the show to be part of that 10%.

Thank you for hearing me out on that.
