Welcome to Spirits Podcast episode 45, creepy kids. I think we deliver on this premise, Julia.

Yeah, I think it's actually the perfect way to start off. Hashtag creep tober.

Creeptober. Oh, we are so excited. And actually, that reminds me of my recommendation for this episode, which is hashtag Ink Tober. People, apparently, it's like nanorimo, but for artists and they are putting out an illustration,

a piece of art every single day. We have had such beautiful Spirits fan art come in already. And I just want to like totally shamelessly ask everybody to make us lots of Inktober drawings. I think you

already did that just by mentioning it. I'm, I'm in. I also want to mention our new patrons who we love. So when we're going

weekly, we have switched some of our tears around. We have made our tears cheaper, but we are also

charging more frequently. So anyway, there was a bit of a like housework situation with our Patreon,

and we are just really grateful for everybody reading my long email and dealing with that and for signing up. So we would love to welcome Christy, Angel Kitty, John, Anna,

and Lou Mack. And thank as always our supporting producer and legend level patrons,

new tier, y'all, physical merch. It is a real exciting tier. I'm excited to send you guys your first spirits themed gift box.

It's like a like a culture club. We're going to have books, movies, maybe some of those cool

skull-tipped like olive spears for drinks. Oh my gosh. I have so many ideas. Should we list our

beautiful supporting patrons who are definitely not creepy children?

If I didn't, it would feel weird. So thank you so much, too. Leanne, Camie, Cassie, Dillon,

Chandra, Cynne, Julie, Sarah, MCF, Katie, D-DLG for Dummies. If you have a first name,

let us know, because I can thank you that way. Phil Fresh, Debra, and Charles.

You guys are definitely not creepy children. You are the cool 1950s British paintings of our

hearts question mark. It'll make sense. That's my favorite story from this episode, I think. Anyway,

and finally, we would love to thank StoryBlocks for sponsoring us again this week.
