Welcome back to Tapes from the Darkside. I'm TZ, your host, and today we have something a little different for you.

Before we get into it, I want to say thank you to everybody who supports us on Patreon.

We will soon be sending out the enamel pins with the cassette tape of our logo.

So if you want to grab one of those, go sign up at patreon.com slash

After the episode's finished, go subscribe to What Was That Like on any podcast app,
