Hello, everybody. This is Jennifer Matterese. And before I get started with the episode, I would just like to take care of the usual housekeeping.

Now, normally, this is the part of the episode where I give you the information you would need to pay for a request for the podcast.

However, if you listen to the latest updates on the podcast feed or checked out our social media accounts lately, then you know that I have

paused new paid requests for the time being. I currently have a list that is 75 requests long,

so it's only fair that I put new paid requests on hold for the time being until I finish a good

portion of the list that I already have.

If you happen to hear any old episodes and submit a paid request at this time anyway, I

will be returning them to you and noting that I will accept your request again once I have

gotten through some more of the list that I already have.

Now if you want to just donate regularly through PayPal or Venmo, Cash App, wherever,

you can still do that.

But if there is a request attached to that, I will be sending that back to you because

I don't think it's fair to hold on to that if I'm not going to be able to get to your requests after digging through the pile of requests I already have to do.

If you are subscribed to the podcast's Patreon at a level where you should be able to get to

request an episode but you haven't sent in your request yet. Don't worry about that. I will still accept your request. Take your time.

Whenever you get around to that, that is fine. And if you join the Patreon and you join at a

level where you can request an episode, the only thing I would ask right now is to just, again,

take your time, give me a little time to get through

this list and cut it down a little bit. So this particular episode is a request from Carla,

and I would like to thank them for the request and for the donation. Now, if you'd still like

to help support the podcast, you can do so with a one-time donation through PayPal at

Disasterarea at Mail.com,
