Hello everyone and welcome to Talk Nurdy. Today is Monday August 6th and I'm

your host Kara Santa Maria and as I mentioned on the show each week Talk Nurdy

is and will always be 100% free to download.

That model is very important to me and I will always sustain it. But the only way I can do that

is from the ad reads that I do in the middle of the show, those really help support, but also even more

helpful is the support from individual listeners like yourself.

Those of you who are on a position to support the show, make it so that people who aren't don't have to and

can always listen for free.

And so I use the Patreon service, which is actually a really great community where a lot of independent creators are there and you can

pledge your support in any dollar amount. They really work with you to ensure that you never

overspend your budget. And there are a lot of cool perks

that you can get from supporting these different independent creators.

TalkNurdy is not in a podcast collective.

I don't work with other podcasts.

I don't have like a management company that takes care of it, everything is

independently produced and published.

But of course I do rely on the help of a really solid team.

My assistant Noel Dilylworth is incredibly central to the process

and of course so are the folks over at Pro Podcast Solutions who edit the show for me now and

so the only way that I can really afford to pay all of these important people

is through the support from listeners like yourself.
