Hello, everybody. This is Jennifer Matterese. And before I get started with the episode today, I just like to take care of the usual housekeeping. Now, for the past couple of months, I have been starting out each episode by reminding everybody that I am not accepting paid requests at this time. I am over 60 paid requests that I still have to do. So I'm not even going to repeat that. We're just going to

skip that. This particular episode is a request from Brenda, and I'd like to thank them for the

request and for the donation. Now, if you'd still like the help support the podcast in another way,

you can do so with a one-time donation through PayPal at disaster area at Mail.com, on Venmo at Disaster Area

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

www.com slash disaster area podcast. If you haven't checked out the podcast lately or ever, I would highly suggest you

check out the Patreon, if only to see the tears. They are adorable. Now, a per episode

based donation of even as little as a dollar an episode can help me do things like pay the rent

and keep the lights on,

help me pay for my trip to Salem at the end of September, which is my birthday week.

And so that is my birthday present to myself.

And being a patron means that you get access to new episodes as soon as I record them rather

than when they are released on the main

feed, which at the earliest is usually 12 hours later. Sometimes it can be several days,

weeks, depending on how far ahead I am scheduling things. So it really is advantageous to

join the Patreon and support the podcast.

And I would very much appreciate it if you did.

You can also follow the podcast on Facebook at Disaster Area Podcast and on Twitter and Instagram

at Disaster Area Pod.

And please think about rating and reviewing the podcast on Apple Podcasts or wherever else

that you might listen to us on.

And as always, the sources for each new episode can be found at disaster area podcast.
