Folks, hey, this is Alex, the, you know, the host of the show.

You're about to hear episode 93 of secretly incredibly fascinating.

9.3.

And I'm doing this little message because I'm running a membership drive from now until episode 100.

I did this once before last year with episode 50.

It's a special time when I ask you to please consider taking the plunge,

making the step of backing the podcast. This show depends on members. It depends on patrons.

I try to make out one time a year special request for that and otherwise just let you enjoy the

podcast all the time, always new free shows. But this is an extremely independent

podcast. I make it myself. At the end of each episode, I do a sort of a joke in the outro where I say

this entire podcast operation. That's kind of a gag. I have my friend Chris Suze. I help with

mastering the show and I pay him for that work. Otherwise, it's just me doing the research,

the guest booking, the taping, the editing, everything that makes this a thing that can exist.

And patrons are the real reason it can exist. They fund that labor. They fund that effort.

They fund me trying to make you a premium podcast, a better podcast than the average show.

So that's why this drive is happening.

Please head to siphpod.f dot fun and join the Patreon, make it a successful and fun and

awesome drive. Thank you for listening, and please enjoy Episode 93.
