Hi, this is Jennifer Matarise, and there's a couple of things I want to take care of before I start the podcast.

First things first, I wanted to say, sorry if you can hear any sort of noise in the background.

I normally record my podcast at night, late at night, because I live next to a main street,

and so the cars outside can get a little loud, but I wanted to try and get

this podcast done today and get it done before work, and so I'm kind of, right now I'm doing

this while there are cars passing by on their morning commute, so if you can hear them, I apologize.

The second thing that I wanted to do was say a quick thank you to Dina. Dina is one of the patrons on Patreon, and she

actually chose the subject matter for this particular podcast episode. She actually threw out a list

of possible podcast subjects. And this was one

that I had, I chose off of her suggestions because, uh, it was one that I didn't really remember

until I looked it up. And then suddenly I just, I remembered everything.

If you want to be able to choose an episode's subject matter, you can do so at any time really on Facebook and on Twitter, on our Facebook and Twitter.

If you throw them out there I will add

them to the list but if you want to move to want it to move to the front of the

line and be one of the ones that's either in you know that's coming up soon

then it helps to support us on Patreon you can also throw some money in the tip jar, which is PayPal. Our

PayPal address is disaster area at mail.com. And really, that really does help the podcast,

even if it's a couple of bucks here or there. I, you know, I'm trying to buy more disaster

books and add to my collection. I'm trying to, you know, I'm paying

for SoundCloud and I'm paying for, I'm trying to start a website for the podcast. So every little bit

helps. And if you can't afford to throw anybody into the chip jar or support us on Patreon, that's fine.

You can always rate and review us on iTunes.
