Hello, everybody. This is Jennifer Matarise. And before I get started with the episode today, I'd just like to take care of the usual housekeeping.

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

However, if you've listened to the latest updates to the podcast and checked our social media accounts lately, you then you know that I have paused new paid request for the time

being. I currently have a list that is 70 requests long, so it's only fair that I put new paid

requests on hold until I finish a good portion of the list I already have left. If you happen to

hear any old episodes and submit a paid request at this time anyway, I will be returning your payment 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, I have made one exception, but that's only because it is a disaster

that I already need to research, and so it seems only fair. I might as well do an episode on it,

because I'm already doing

the research anyway. Now, if you are subscribed to the podcast, Patreon at a level where you

should be able to get to request an episode, but you haven't sent in your request yet,

no worries. I will still accept your request whenever you get around to that.

This particular episode is a request from Rachel, and I'd like to thank her for the request and for the donation.

Now, if you'd like to help support the podcast in another way, you can do so with a one-time donation through PayPal at Disaster Area at Mail.com, through Venmo at Disaster Area Podcast, and through Cash App at Disaster

Area Pod. And there is, of course, Patreon per episode basis on Patreon at www.com

slash disaster area podcast. A per episode donation of even as little as a dollar, an episode can

help me do things like pay the bills and pay the rent and keep the dog in his favorite treats.

So if you become a patron, I would very much appreciate it. It also gets you early access to

episodes that I will put on

the Patreon as soon as I record them rather than scheduling them for a later time and getting

them then on the regular feed. Right now, it's a great time to sign up for Patreon or to make
