Hello everyone and welcome to Talk Nurdy. Today is hopefully October 9th, 2017 and I'm your host, Kara Santa Maria.

Now, the reason I say it's hopefully October 9th

is, if you were listening last week,

you would know that I am out of the country right now.

I am in North Africa where I have very little service.

Hopefully I will have been able to upload this episode on time, but I'm pre-recording the

intro back at home with all of my equipment so I don't have to lug it halfway across the world.

That said, I guess we will see when we see.

We have a great episode this week and I want to thank all of you who made

talk nerdy possible by rating and reviewing in iTunes in other podcast services

by shopping in the talk nerdy store I promise I will get your

shipments out to you as soon as I get home and by supporting the show via

kara Santa Maria.com where you can find the TalkNurdy store and also the PayPal portal

and via Patreon.com slash Talk nerdy. I'll give you guys individual shoutouts when I'm back.

I haven't been able to check because
