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. For starters, paid requests are now reopened. If you are interested in submitting a disaster request, please double check the list of requests I recently posted to the podcast's Facebook and Tumblr to make sure your request has not already been made. Please keep in mind that the

accounts, social media accounts for the podcast are all public, and therefore you do not need to

have an account on Facebook, Tumblr, or Instagram to check those and see any information I post.

Also, please look through past episodes to verify I haven't already

covered the disaster in question. To submit a request, you can send a donation of $30 or more to the

podcast, PayPal at Disasterarea atmail.com, on Venmo at Disaster Area Podcast, or on Cash

App at Disaster Area Pod. Just add the name of the disaster to the notes on your donation.

If you have an idea for an episode subject, but you're not sure if it qualifies,

feel free to message me and I can approve one way or the other.

Keep in mind that I have a very open mind when it comes to disasters.

I will do anything from natural and man-made disasters all the way over to

financial and commercial disasters. Cats, the movie is still on my to-do list. And

fandom disasters as well. I've covered DashCon, of course. Somebody actually asked me about

another fandom disaster that, again, no body count, nothing there there just a lot of fun and and

pettiness to go around the subject for this episode was chosen by teddy and i'd like to thank

them for the request and for the donation if you still like to help support the podcast you can do so

with a one-time donation through PayPal benmomo, or cash app, and 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 do things like pay the rent, keep the lights on, buy Christmas presents this year.

So if you do join the Patreon, you will also get new episodes ad-free as soon as I record them

rather than waiting until they are released. If you do become a patron, I would very much appreciate it.

You can also follow the podcast on Facebook at Disaster Area Podcast, on Instagram at Disaster Area Pod,

and on Tumblr at Disaster Area Dash Podcast. Again, all public. You can access any of those
