0:00.0	Hello, everybody. This is Jennifer Matarise. And before I proceed with the episode, I would just like to take care of the usual housekeeping.
0:08.1	As I've already mentioned in previous episodes, I've put paid requests on hold for the time being.
0:13.0	When I get through my backlog, I will start up all over again.
0:16.9	Until then, I'll be working through the list that I already have with the occasional episode of my own choice, so I still feel like I have some control over this thing.
0:26.2	The subject from this particular episode was requested by someone whose name I unfortunately can't quite locate at the moment, and I apologize for that, but I would like to thank them for the request and for the donation.
0:37.6	Now, if you'd still like to help support the podcast monetarily, you can do so with a one-time
0:41.7	donation through PayPal at Disasterarea at Mail.com, on Venmo at Disaster Area Podcast,

1:12.8	as soon as I record them rather than waiting until they are released. It's usually at least

1:37.5	you might listen to the podcast on.
1:39.8	And please feel free to share a link to the podcast if you like what you hear.
1:45.2	As always, the sources for each new episode can be found at disaster areapodcast.wordpress.com
1:50.5	and should also appear in the description for this episode if I end up doing it right.
1:58.3	I'd also like to announce that in the next couple of weeks, ads should start
