Hello, everybody. This is Jennifer Metteris. 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 a request for the podcast.

However, if you've listened to the last updates to the podcast feed or checked our social media accounts recently, then you know that I have paused

new paid requests for the time being. I currently have a list that is 68 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. If you haven't here any old episodes and submit a paid request at this time, I will be

returning your payment to you and noting that I will accept your request again once I've

gotten through some more of the list that I already have. Now, I have accepted one exception to this

rule, but that is because it's for a disaster I was already researching anyway, and so this was, you know,

going to be just fine for me to cover because I already have to do the work anyway. Now,

if you are subscribed to the podcast's Patreon at a level where you should 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 it.

Feel free to take as much time as you need. This particular episode is their request from B

and I'd like to thank them for the request and for their 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 Disasterarea at Mail.com or on a per-episode basis through

Patreon at www.com slash disaster area podcast. There's also Cash App and Venmo, Venmo's Disaster

Area Podcast, and Cash App is Disaster Area Pod.

A per episode donation of even as little as a dollar an episode on Patreon can help me do things like pay the bills, pay the rent, keep the lights on.

So if you do become a patron, I would very much appreciate it.

And if you become a patron, you actually get episodes a little earlier than everybody else does.

So it's something that you can look forward to there.
