| 0:00.0 | Hey there, it's Alex. You may have heard at the end of our episodes the phrase, normal gossip is a proud member of Radiotopia, but maybe you don't know what that means. The media industry is kind of garbage right now, and it is harder than ever for independent creatives to own their own work, get paid for their work, and to make a living off of their work. |
| 0:22.3 | Radiotopia is trying to make that possible for more independent creators. |
| 0:26.4 | They're really great partners for us, and we have been so happy to work with them. |
| 0:31.6 | Every year, Radiotopia does a fundraising drive, and right now we have a goal of reaching |
| 0:36.8 | 2024 donors, and maybe one of them is you. |
| 0:41.5 | Your donations in the fall fundraiser go into marketing, ad sales, technology, and it also |
| 0:49.0 | makes it possible to bring on new shows in the future. So maybe your next favorite podcast is just around the |
| 0:55.3 | corner. If you are a normal gossip or defector subscriber, that is different. If you donate during the |

| 1:06.7 | things as a token of thanks. I included something in there. You will never guess what it is. |

| 1:48.8 | I'm Kelsey McKinney, and in each episode of this podcast, we're going to bring you an anonymous |
| 1:52.7 | morsel of gossip from the real world. |
| 1:55.9 | As always, if you are desperate for more gossip and you're just like dying inside because |
| 2:00.6 | this one episode a week isn't enough for you or you're becoming scared at the end of the season, you can always become a subscriber at support normalgossip.com where you'll get an extra monthly bonus episode. |
