Hello, this is George McDonough, the executive producer of Power Corrupts.

Brian's decided not to run ads this season,

but he's told me that we'll be forced to get into money laundering if I don't read this for him.

And he's also said that it would sign more sophisticated with my accent,

particularly for the Americans listening.

So here goes.

You can help keep Power Corrupts going,

and editorial independent in a couple of ways.

Firstly, by supporting us on Patreon, at patreon.com forward slash Power Corrupts,

by joining our exclusive community,

yoga access to uncut interviews, episodes early,

as well as bonus episodes later this season,

and secondly, by pre-ordering Brian's new book,

Corruptible, Who Gets Power and How It Changes Us,

which comes out on November 9.

Brian interviews some extraordinarily weird people,

and brings out cutting-edge research from a variety of disciplines

while answering questions which you've never thought about,

like, why do narcissists make more money?

Why do our faces have so much to do with Who Gets Power?

Why are powerful monkeys in a hierarchy less likely to get hooked on drugs?

And what's it like to take a ski lesson from a man who once ruled a rack?
