Hi, this is Robin from Radiotopio. Before we get started, I want to thank everyone who regularly supports this show.

Thanks to listeners like you, we're able to bring you the shows you love exactly how our creators want to make them.

If you just can't imagine your podcast listening without us in your ears,

will do so favor and become a monthly supporter?

Monthly supporters are so important to us

because they help our shows project their budget for the coming months.

To get into the nitty gritty, the money raised for Radiotopia

is split across all the shows in the network. A small

percentage offsets the support that Radiotopia gives to each of our shows like

Privacy First Podcasting Technology, marketing to help us reach more listeners like you and fundraising and business support.

Your support means will not just survive but thrive at a time when independence is rare.

You can become a supporter at radiotopia.fm slash donate.

Thank you so much. You know what today is. It's Mother's Day. And so we thought we'd share with our listeners something special a bonus episode.

Yeah, so here's something special.

This year the stoop can be heard on radio stations across the country.

That's right. We've been putting together episodes that highlight all of our stoop stories

so you're going to hear that today it's a special

Mother's Day episode that was made for the radio that's right and if your

local station is not picking up the stoop. You should call them and tell them you

want the stoop on the radio airwaves. Let's go. Being a mom can take on different forms.

Sometimes. Being a mom can take on different forms.

Sometimes they're the aunties, sometimes it's someone else doing the mothering.
