0:00.0	Hello, everybody. This is Jennifer Matarise. And before I get started with the episode today, I'd just like to take care of a little housekeeping. First of all, I am recording this episode in the wee hours of Christmas Eve. So if you celebrate Christmas, I would like to wish you a very happy one. And we are also in the middle of Hanukkah. So if you celebrate Hanukkah, congratulations. I hope you're having a good one of those
0:20.9	as well. And whichever other holidays that you might celebrate right now and New Year's,
0:26.6	uh, enjoy yourselves. The year is almost over. We're almost out of this horrible hellscape and
0:32.2	into what is hopefully not an entirely new hellscape of 2020. So, yay. Everybody celebrate at least a little bit.
0:42.4	If you've been wanting to hear a particular disaster on the podcast, you can do so for a $25
0:46.5	or more donation to the podcast's PayPal account at disaster area at mail.com. Just add the
0:52.9	disaster you'd like to hear about to the notes of your donation,
0:55.6	and I'll add it to the list. Normally when it comes to requests, I do them when and if I can,
1:00.4	but this will mean I will definitely cover the topic you request as soon as I can finish all
1:05.0	the research for it and do all the writing I need to do. So, you know, if it's a bigger disaster, you have to give me a little bit more time.
1:13.6	The subject from this particular episode, as I mentioned before, was requested by Kelly,
1:18.0	and I'd like to thank you for the request and the donation and the patience once again,
1:22.1	and we are almost done.
1:24.0	If you'd like to help support the podcast, you can do so with a one-time donation through PayPal at Disaster Area at mail.com or on a per-episode basis through Patreon at www.com slash disaster area podcast.
1:41.3	A per-episode donation of even as little as a dollar an episode can help me do things
1:46.1	like buy toys for the dog and keep the lights on and keep a roof over my head and
1:55.9	celebrate Christmas. So if you do become a patron, I would very much appreciate it. You can also
2:03.3	follow the podcast on Facebook at Disaster Area Podcast or on Twitter and Instagram at Disaster Area
2:10.0	Pod. And please think about reading and reviewing the podcast on iTunes or wherever else that you
2:15.9	may listen to the podcast on. And as always, the sources for each
2:19.5	new episode can be found at disaster area podcast.wordpress.com. With all of that taken care of,
2:26.2	thank you very much for listening and for the very final episode of our Chernobyl series.
