Hello everyone and welcome to talk nerdy. It is Monday November 30th and I'm your host Kara Santa Maria and soon we will be having a chat with a very interesting unique passionate

and brilliant woman but before we do I just want to get through a little bit of business.

And maybe those of you who stick around and listen to the business

will be pleasantly rewarded.

First, I want to thank those of you who have supported the show this week, specifically.

I want to thank Todd Ericsson via the PayPal portal.

And I want to thank Elena Scott, Phil T-Bare,

Timothy Glover, Ken Fyfer, Brian Holden,

and Jeffrey Sewell, who have visited the show

at Patreon.com slash talk nerdy and pledge to support the

show that way. I also want to thank the many, many more of you who support the show

week after week whose names I simply can't read because it would take too long.

I also want to remind you that there are a lot of other ways to support Talk Nurdy to keep it 100%

free to download for everybody who's interested.

The first is just to tell your friends and family about it,

you know, talk about it on Twitter, on Facebook,

on Instagram, or you can rate or review on iTunes and Stitcher. Another way to support the show

is to visit Kara Santa Maria.com and see all of the different options there.

Now one of the kind of I think more fun ways to support the show is to shop in the talk nerdy store

and I will tell you that sales have been slow.

So I want to shake things up a bit. I am going to open up a holiday

promotion if you visit kara Santa Maria.com and you use the offer code
