Hey everyone.

Welcome to Talk Nurdy.

I'm your host, Kara Santa Maria, and I am finally back after

a grueling month of travel. Can't really complain though because that means I'm working and it's always good to be working.

I'm very, very grateful for some of the opportunities that I've had recently.

I'm also grateful, or should I say thankful, we just passed the Thanksgiving holiday,

I'm also thankful for all of you, the supporters of the show, the listeners of the show, so I want to give a few

shout out right here at the top. The first is to Nicholas Wrecker. Next I want to thank Mark Bahaj and also I want to thank Michael Quinn. Thank you guys for setting up recurring

contributions to the show.

They're incredibly helpful.

I couldn't do it without you.

I also want to thank Masra Klamengau from Seattle, Washington for your generous contribution.

I want to thank Cody Lermuth from Victoria, British Columbia for your contribution.

I also want to thank Jettodiah Williams from Thornton, Colorado.

Thank you so much Jettadiah.

I want to thank Kevin Deal from Concord, North Carolina.

Thank you, Kevin.

I also want to thank, as always,

Rick Richardson from Elma Washington. Rick, thank you so much for your continued support.

And last but not least, I want to thank Brad Chang,

who made an incredibly generous contribution,

probably the biggest one that Talk N nerdy has seen so far.
