Hello everyone and welcome to talk nerdy. It's Monday, April 3rd and I'm your

host Kara Santa Maria. This week we are chatting with Annabel Gerwich, the author of Wherever you Go, there they are.

Stories about my family you might relate to. But before we dive into that, I want to thank those of you who made TalkNurdy possible this week.

Now remember I do Talk Nurdy all by myself.

That means I book all of the interviews. I sit down, I record them, I edit them, I upload them, I do all the metadata.

I also do all of the business stuff around it like the

shipping from the online store, yada yada yada yada.

So the only real way that I can do that, I can afford to carve out so much time to do that is because you

guys support the show because the last thing I would ever want to do and will never do is make

you pay to listen to talk nerdy. So the reason that this show is free for everybody to listen to is because a handful of those of you who really care about the show have supported it financially over the years.

Now, this week I want to thank those who use the PayPal

portal on my website including John Arco, Mark Portney, and Diane Adams. Thank you

guys so very much and I also want to thank those of you who visited Patreon.com slash

talk nerdy to pledge your support on an episodic basis. The biggest

supporters over the years so far have been Jeffrey Sewall coming in at number one, then Brian Holden,

next would have to be Charles Pay It. No, no, no, actually next would be Gabriel

Felipe Hermameo Gonzalez,

then the honorable husband, then Charles Pay It,

after that would be Phil T-Bere.

And then these are all, oh, and then Timothy Glover. Then it looks like Stuart Oge, David Laysay, who would be after that?

Christian. that.

Christian, Jeffrey, Jafe, and Pedro M Rosario Barboza and also Jeffrey Perez.
