Hey there infant listeners, we have a new patron of the month. You may remember that Heather Risk was our October winner.

Heather donates $2 per episode with no no monthly limit and we released eight episodes in October so Heather won a

reverse tithing prize of $160 which is 10 times the amount of her support

for instance on Thrones so our new patron of the month for November is Ashley

Whitney. Ashley joined Patreon on November 10th. She donates $1 per episode with a maximum limit of four episodes per month.

So Ashley has won a reverse tithing total of $40.

Congratulations Ashley. I sent you an email earlier today and a message through Patreon.

Hopefully I'll be hearing from you soon.

Congratulations again.

infants to get their feedback. Tom was the only one that I heard from and Tom had two main questions.

First, why so much meta-Nabel gazing in the first 10 minutes, Tom? And two,

So to answer the first question, I want to frame my interest in this video

as an extension of topics that we've been covering for the past year

or so on infants on thrones and this is kind of like a next step in that

evolution of my interests and I see this video is kind of a maybe an overview of the types of

episodes that I want to be creating going forward like I said it's pretty dense there's a lot
