The Hello everyone and welcome to Talk Nurdie. It is actually Tuesday, September 26th and I'm your host Kara Santa Maria. Now I don't know if you can hear it in my voice but I'm your host, Kara Santa Maria.

Now I don't know if you can hear it in my voice,

but I'm actually quite sick right now.

I've been traveling non-stop for a new show,

which I'll be able to share with you soon,

not quite yet, and airplanes and germs equal gross.

But that's not the reason the show is going up a little bit late.

I was actually having some connectivity problems yesterday and so hopefully everything is

going to work out okay today.

I may be changing my air date to Tuesdays coming up shortly though because my travel has been so all over

the place I'm going to play around with it and see what works best.

But in the meantime I'm really excited about today's episode.

I will share with you exactly what we'll be talking about soon, but first, I want to thank those

of you who made talk nerdy possible this week.

We're going to start with the PayPal portal, which you can access at my website,

Kara Santa Maria.com.

I had a very, very, very generous support this week

from Wolf Witt.

Wolf, I want to thank you so much. These kinds of gestures really do make

talk nerdy possible. And then moving over to Patreon, which you can sign up for at Patreon.com

slash talk nerdy.

I want to thank Phil T-Bare, Timothy Glover, Rob Schreck, Pedro M Rosario
