Hello everyone and welcome to talk nerdy. Today is Monday, September 6th, 2021 and I'm the host of the show, Kara Santa Maria. how is it September already?

Wow, we are all losing time, aren't we?

Well, if you're back in school, congratulations,

and I hope you have a wonderful school year.

If your kiddos are back in school

congratulations to them they are surviving they're doing it and I think most days

right now so long as we can say that we're in a pretty dang good place.

All right, I've got a great show for you this week, but before we dive in, I do want to thank those of you

who make TalkNurdy possible each and every week.

Remember, TalkNurdy is and always will be 100% free to download and that is because I rely on the

support of listeners just like you. A lot of people can't afford to pay

for all of their media consumption, but of course the people

who create this media have to get paid. And one of the ways we get paid is by reading advertisements,

which is great, but it's usually not enough,

especially on podcast where everything is really done

by yourself.

You're your own producer, you're your own,

well, I used to be my own editor now I've actually I pay somebody to edit my show.

I also pay an assistant to help me because I'm juggling so many things and of course

got to be able to pay them. And one of the biggest ways that we do that is

via Patreon. So for those of you who pledge your support in every episode I

just want to give you a shout out and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
