Hey folks, this is Kevin.

On this week's episode of Riskyl here, Cheryl Hamilton.

And my dad says, be careful, and I'm like, dad, I'm 24,

which is a stupid thing to say to your father when you're living with him at 24.

That and more. But before that, I just want to give a huge shout out

to three of our newest Patreon patrons, Ruben Medina, Timmy Red, and Christine Ross.

Thank you guys so much. We are so appreciative to our Patreon patrons.

We give a shout out every time someone gives $25 a month or more.

You know, JC Cassis, the producer of Riskyl and I recorded a little check-in

that we posted on the Patreon about a month back.

And several, several fans wrote in to say they were absolutely shocked

to learn from that conversation how in need of money we are at risk right now.

To keep the show running. We're an independent business.

We're not part of one of those big corporate networks with a big budget

for producing podcasts. Right now, we have 931 patrons giving us a total of $4,564 a month.

And that's a huge, huge help to us.

But remember, that only adds up to about $50,000 per year.

And while that number is amazing, that's only really, you know, a little more than enough to

cover one person's annual salary. And we have over 20 people on our staff now.

We have to keep the show going with other income sources, you know, like the live shows.

And advertisements on the podcast, but advertisers come and go.

Often very quickly. And it's not possible for us to do more than a couple live shows per month
