Hey everyone, this is Heaving Buzums, the podcast where two scholars recap romance novels

in the most serious manner possible, while also cackling maniacally and making hose jokes.

I'm going to level with you.

Our Patreon fundraiser, Benefitting World Central Kitchen, is going amazingly, but you'll

have to wait until next week for a detailed update.

I'm currently operating with the most casual, mild concussion after the smallest car accident

possible, and I can't look at screens for too long, nor can I math well on a regular day.

So by next week, I'll be able to sit down and dig into Excel and math my face off to

get you firm numbers.

One hugely exciting development, though, is that a listener emailed in saying they would

like to help the fundraiser by matching the next $500 in donations.

This community blows me away every single day, and it's astonishing to see what creative

ways you come up with next.

So thank you, anonymous listener, and congratulations on the huge, exciting life change that's

about to happen for you.

If you want to join in on the fun, head to patreon.com forward slash Heaving Buzums podcast and sign

up or increase your monthly tier.

We're doubling all new and increased tiers and donating it to World Central Kitchen.

After already donating $1,000 to Rasm Emergency Response in Ukraine.

Alright, now buckle up, because Aaron and Nat are here, and they're going to talk about

melting point by cake meter, a book that is undoubtedly for someone, but probably not

for them.
