Hello everyone and welcome to Talk Nurdy. Today is Monday, April 26. Wow, it's almost

the end of April. I'm the host of the show, Kara Santa Maria, and this week we have a great one for you but

before we dive in I want to thank those of you who help make TalkNurdy possible

remember TalkNurdy is and will always be 100% free to download and that is because I rely on the

support both of my advertisers and of people just like you.

If you want to support the show, there are a lot of different ways to do it and you can learn

all about them by

visiting my website kara santa Maria dot com or talk nerdy dot com there you can

click through to the talk nerdy store which you can also access that talk nerdy

merch dot com you can rate and review on Apple Podcast, Google Podcast,

wherever you get your podcast.

And of course, you can pledge your support at Patreon by visiting Patreon.com slash TalkNurdy.

This week's top patrons include Mary Niva, Michael Goshé, Brian Holden, Christopher Pitts, Daniel Lange, David J. E. Smith,

Duda's Infinitas, June Sappara, Leonard Prince, Pasquatly Gilati, Ulrika Hagman, Elise Christie, and Robert Christ.

You can pledge as little as a dollar per episode and that money really does go a long way

to help pay for all of the things that are required to go into the show, including

the editor, my assistant, who does all of the social media and actually does a lot,

kind of in the back end like uploading files and

taking care of scheduling guests and things like that. And of course all those

people got to get paid. So yeah, thank you all so much for supporting the show.

I think now in like our what seventh year?

What?
