Hello there and welcome to Goop Tales. I'm Maria Kalinchini, the founder, writer, and

narrator of these original audio adventures. And before we dive in today, I have something exciting to tell you, and I need your participation.

I'm going to let you decide which goop I make next.

So I have taken eight of the listener submitted goop ideas.

They've all been submitted by all of you listeners, and I've put them up

for a vote. And if you go to goptails.com forward slash vote, you can pick your favorite out of those

eight, and when you do vote, you will receive a free gift from me instantly.

Now, the voting closes on June 14th, but get in there and vote at gooptails.com
