Across the UK, across continental North America, and around the world, on the internet, by webcast, and by podcast, my name is Howard Hughes, and this is the unexplained.

Boy, it's the back end of a busy old week for me. I won't even begin to go into any event, but a lot of work, and said the amount of enjoyment involved in it too.

Thank you very much for your emails. I have read all of them, and I only really want to deal with two of them right now, because I think they address very, very important issues.

Number one is an email that I got from a guy calling himself, I assume it's a guy. Anonymous, it may not be, it might be a woman who knows. Anonymous said effectively that he or she believed that I've sold out on the UK, and that I'm now directing everything I do towards the US.

Not so. Okay, I've said before here, I love American radio. My heroes were your Casey casams, Art Bell, Paul Harvey, people like that. So I'm not going to make an apology for that.

But my working life has been on air over here, and I've been lucky enough to work on some of the big radio stations. I know I've told you before, and I've been quite honest about it. I didn't make a fortune other people did.

But you know, in radio, most people don't. So that is why I ask for donations for this show. Now, okay, the truth is that this show has ignited in the United States in the last few months, and especially recently with shows like the special we did with Dr. Steven Greer, that got a lot of response in America and in Canada.

And I was delighted about that because that for me is the realization of an ambition, you know, people like Art Bell, my hero. So to be kind of recognized in a way in his home territory means a hell of a lot to me.

But that doesn't mean that I've sold out on the UK, not at all. But the person who sent me that email said effectively that I didn't mention anybody when I did some shout out recently in the UK.

Not true. If you listen to the show, I did three or four for the UK, and it proportionately represented my email inbox, which is now about 75% or so, America, Canada, and other parts of the world, and then the rest is the UK.

So I try to be fair about that, and I would never turn my back on my home country or my home city of which I am very proud Liverpool.

If you're a regular listener, you know that any Liverpool, and even if we don't live there anymore, very, very proud of what that city has done for us. And I am.

So that's that point, and I hope that's dealt with that. This is a show for the world. If that doesn't sound pretentious, I don't want it to.

And it depends on your support, your feedback, your donations. If you'd like to make a donation, maybe send me an email about the show, then I would love to hear from you.

www.theunexplained.tv, www.theunexplained.tv, there's a PayPal link on the website there, and also link for you to send me email and give me your thoughts on how I'm doing what I'm doing.

And I will do some more shoutouts in a future show. I've just been overwhelmed with email and stuff to do lately, but I promise you I see a note, everything that you said, Mario's just sent me a great email.

And Mario, please know that I've taken on board the very, very good points that you've made about the show. So thank you very much. Very constructive feedback.

The website and the show got out to you by Adam Cornwell at Creative Hotspot in Liverpool. Thanks Adam for your hard work.

Now the other thing I wanted to deal with was an email that I had on a subject that is very pertinent to me right now, and that is the subject of funding this show.

It's a curious thing that as a show gets more successful, you want to expand it, but the truth of the matter is I can't afford to.

And I get so many emails now from all over the world saying, please can you do more of these shows because we like them. That makes me feel great.

A show that I produce by myself and you feel that way about it, but I simply cannot afford to expand until funding allows.
