Hey everyone and welcome to Talk Nurdy. Today's Monday, March 25th and I'm

Kara Santa Maria. Thank you so much for joining me. It's going to be a great

episode this week. Now remember

Talk Nurdiism will always be 100% free to download and that's because of the

model that we use for the show that we've used almost from the beginning. I sell ads, those are right in the

middle of the show, generally one or two to break things up, but also I really heavily rely on

support from listeners just like you. One of the biggest ways that you can support the

the show is by visiting Patreon.com slash talk nerdy that's

p a t r e o n dot com slash talk nerdy and you can pledge E-O-N-D-O-N-D-O-N-T-Nurdie.

And you can pledge your support from episode to episode.

I mean, as little as a few bucks an episode is just a massive, massive help.

But if you pledge more, you get a shout out on the show.

So this week I want to thank Pedro M Rosario Barbosa,

Phil Tiber, the zombie drummer, David J. E. Smith, Jeffrey Perez, Charles Payette, Gabriel Felipe

Hormillo Gonzalez, Brian Holden, and Jeffrey Sewell. Thank you guys so, so much for your support. Of course there's a lot of other

ways to support the show. They don't have to be financial. You can rate and review on Apple

Podcasts, on Google Podcasts, any other place where you download your shows.

You can share about the show on social media, share about it with your friends and family.

But if you do want to rock some cool talk-dy swag you can visit talk nerdy merch dot com

M erch like merchandise yeah and you can see all sorts of super cool talk nerdy swag there including things like

t-shirts and tank tops and hoodies and socks and mugs and you know all those kinds of things
