Hey folks, this is episode number 47 of secretly incredibly fascinating, four, seven. That means episode 50

is just a couple weeks away. The membership drive for episode 50 is just not there yet.

I'm really hoping people who hear this message who are listening to the podcast in the free feed where I give it away.

I'm really hoping you'll come through, go to siftpod.fod.fun, become someone who backs this show.

If enough people do and we head our next goal, everybody gets digital art.

It's going to be a poster by Adam Koford, who's an amazing illustrator.

He's worked with everybody from riff tracks to

maximum fun. He will do a one-of-a-kind commemorative poster for all 50 of the first episodes

if we have enough people, sign up and become part of this podcast. And of course, if you sign up right

now, you get amazing stuff right now. You aren't just waiting for a poster.

You get a huge library of bonus shows that only ever grows every week. You get to suggest topics.

You get to vote on topics. You get plug-free versions of the shows. You won't hear stuff like this.

Also, I don't know if everybody knows that patrons can request video messages from me.

I've been doing a lot of them since we hit that goal. And it's really fun. A lot of people's road trips and special events and just other times they hear this show with people. You know, I get to be part of it. That feels great for me and I hope it feels great for them. So again, if you back this show, you get tangible benefits right away.

You get us toward future benefits that will come pretty quickly.

And there are even more goals and rewards and things coming up down the line.

The full information is at siphpod.fun. Fun.

Anyway, that's the plug.

Here comes the 47th episode of the show, and thanks.

Harbors, known for being ports. Famous for being boaty. Nobody thinks much about them,

so let's have some fun. Let's find out why harbors are secretly incredibly fascinating. Hey there, folks, welcome to a whole new podcast episode.

A podcast all about why being alive is more interesting than people think it is.
