Hello everyone and welcome to talk nerdy. Today is Monday, May 21st and I'm your host Kara Santa Maria and my guess this week honestly kind of needs no introduction.

You know they say that like this person needs no introduction but really does

carry Byron need an introduction.

Oh my gosh I'm so excited to have had the opportunity to chat with her but

before we dive into that I want to thank those of you who may talk nerdy possible this week.

Remember the show is and will always be 100% free to download and the way that I can

support the work that I do along with the hiring of additional people to make the

show the best it can be. I rely both on ad sales in the show and on

support from you, my incredible patron.

So if you want to pledge your support and make it kind of, I don't know, make the model work,

you know what I mean?

Make it okay that there are plenty of people out there who are not in a position to support the

show, which is fine, That's the whole point. I don't want anybody to have

to access this work behind a paywall. I have such a hard time with that. So it's the support

from a handful of people like you who are really able to do it that makes it possible that everybody is capable of listening.

So I just want to thank those of you who are my top patrons this week.

If you want to pledge your support, you just go to Patreon.com slash

TalkNurdy and they introduce at the highest level Rob Shrek.

Thank you so very much at the the next level, Phil T-Bare, and at the level after that, the zombie drummer,
