Lemonada.

Hey grownups, Lee here.

Welcome back to episode three of season eight.

Before we start, I'd like to take just a minute here before the episode starts to ask for your help with finishing the season.

We want to be honest with our listeners that it is a really challenging time right now

for educational media providers like the story pirates.

Unless we're able to raise more funds, this season could unfortunately be a short one.

We've already received so many responses from you about this. Thank you so much to everyone who has already donated and reached out. It means so much to us. And if you haven't had a chance to help yet, there's still time. We're offering for the first time personalized videos from us to you.

That's right.

For your donation, we'll send you, your kids, whoever in your life you think will appreciate it, probably your kids, a personalized video saying, hello, happy birthday, happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, whatever you want.

You can choose a video from me or Peter or Megan or Nimini or Eric or

even Rollo and Smitty. This is the only time we've ever offered this and we're not going to be

offering it again anytime soon. So this is your chance. Get a video for that special imaginative

kid in your life and help the story pirates finish our season.

And if you're hearing all this and you happen to have more significant resources to spare,

we're looking for a few patrons who may want to have a conversation with us about becoming credited producers on the show.

If that sounds like you, drop us a line.

And of course, all donations are completely

tax deductible. So get your personalized video or get in touch about a larger contribution

at storypirates.com slash support. That link is also in the show notes for today's episode.

Okay, thanks for listening and thanks again for all your support.

It means the world to us onto the show after a few more words for the grownups.
