Hey everyone. Welcome to Talk Nurdy. Today's Monday October 1st, 2018 and I'm your

host Kara Santa Maria. Now I say this every week so of course I'm going to say it again.

I want to thank those of you who have made TalkNurdy possible this week.

Remember TalkNurdy is will always be 100% free to download and that is for several reasons but not least of which is the

support from listeners just like you. I do sell ads on the show that helps make

the paychecks go around no but really I do the show mostly by myself.

You know, I write it, I produce it, I book it, I blah it.

But I also do rely on some support. I have an incredible assistant named Noel

Dilworth who helps quite a bit with managing all of the organizational

aspects of the show and also I rely heavily on the incredible editors at Pro Podcast Solutions

but I got to pay for these things and so I do that through selling ads but also

through my Patreon page. So if you go to

Patreon.com slash talk nerdy you'll see what I'm talking about there. You can

pledge your support for the show. You can pledge as little as 50 cents as much as well I won't even

say moo-ha ha but if you do pledge at a certain level you get a shout out at the

top of the show so this week I want to thank Rob Schreck, Pedro M Rosario

Barbosa, Phil T-Bare, the zombie drummer, David Jee Smith, Jeffrey Perez, Charles Payet, Jafe, Gabriel Felipe, Hermio Gonzalez, Brian Holden, and last but not least,

Jeffrey Sewall.

All right, guys, this week is a really fun one.

Once again, only two weeks later, I had the incredible opportunity to have a one-on-one

face-to-face conversation here on Talk Nurdy with I'm happy to say my friend and

also literally one of the funniest people on the planet Allison Becker she's an incredibly talented actress and comedian and producer. She writes and she's so incredibly
