Hey everyone, it's Nate here from the Vinyl Guide. This is the first episode of 2020, and right now, Australia is burning.

We need your help, and you can provide that help at patreon.com slash vinyl guide, where we are donating 100% of all patron fees to the fire efforts.

If you check the news, there are major fires all over

the country that are out of control. They've already burned some 12 million acres, roughly the size

of Vermont and New Hampshire combined. As of today, there's over 20 people dead, hundreds of

homes lost, an estimated half a billion animals dead, including approximately

one-third of the world's koala population, gone.

And there's no end in sight.

Join our Patreon community at patreon.com slash vinyl guide.

We have exclusive interviews and contents for the Patreon community, secret episodes,

and more. Plus, every cent you sponsor goes to the firefighters and the victims of the Australian

bushfires. Be generous if you can. 20 bucks, 50 bucks, whatever you can is great. We are safe.

We are lucky. We're able to enjoy our holidays in front of the record player.

So many others cannot and are literally running for their lives.

Help us help them any way you can, including at patreon.com slash vinyl guide.

Thanks in advance for your support. And now on with the show.
