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.

I hope everything is good with you.

It feels in London very, very close and very, very hot and it feels like any moment now,

maybe when I'm recording, there's going to be an almighty sky-ripping thunderstorm.

It's in a little dark too, so I'm going to keep an eye out there.

Maybe I should be closing the curtains, I'm not sure with electronic equipment near the window.

That's a whole other thing.

Thank you very much for your emails.

Remember, I get to see all of the emails as they come in if they need a response they

will be getting one.

Thank you to Mark, whose email came in today, that worried me a bit.

Mark said that he loved the show, but didn't like the fact that, quote, I grovel or I am groveling

at the beginning of every show asking for donations.

I've never thought of it as groveling.

I've always said, and you can go back years, if you can make a donation to help this carry

on, then please do.

It's very important, but if not, you're not able to do it, which a lot of people aren't,

you know, I know how tight money is at the moment.

Believe me.

If you can't, then just enjoy the show and those are the words that I've used for years.

Other podcasts they will ask you to sign up to their Patreon, they will ask you for subscriptions
