Hello, everybody. This is Jennifer Matterese. 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 latest updates to the podcast feed or checked our social media accounts lately, then you know that I have paused new paid requests.

I currently have a list that is 68 requests long, if I'm remembering correctly, so it's only

fair that I put new paid requests on hold for the time being until I have finished a good portion

of the list I already have. 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 at the list than I already have. I've only accepted

one exception to this rule, and that's because I was already planning on doing that

disaster anyway. So, now, if you are subscribed to the podcast, Patreon at a level where you

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

worry about anything. I will still accept your request whenever you

decide to get around to sending that in. Now, this particular episode, just like the assault

on Nakatomi Plaza, in episode 100, is a disaster of my own choosing. Sort of. 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, through Venmo at Disaster Area

Podcast, through Cash App at Disaster Area Pod, or on a per episode basis through Patreon

at www.com slash disaster area podcast.

A per episode donation of even as little as a dollar an episode can help me stay at, you know,

play the bills and keep the lights on and pay for treats for the dog so he hopefully stays quiet during this episode.

I spent $113 on treats and toys today, so you can always help donate to that fund.

And if you do become a patron, you will actually get access to new episodes earlier than people who are on the regular feed. So if you do become a

patron, I would very much appreciate it. You can also follow the podcast on Facebook at Disaster
