Hello everyone and welcome to Talk Nurdy. Today is Monday, April 11th,

2022 and I'm the host of the show Kara Santa Maria. And before we dive into this week's episode,

I do want to thank those of you who make Talk Nurdy

possible week after week after week after week.

We are now in our, what is that, one, two, three, four, five, three four five six seven eight ninth year is that

possible I think I've been saying seven for the past two years yeah we

started in 2014 in March of 2014, so that means we basically just

surpassed eight full years. That is amazing. I cannot believe that. That's

incredible. And we are today on episode 402 and many of

you have been supporting the show since the very, very beginning.

So obviously early on I wasn't using Patreon because Patreon didn't actually exist, but now it

really is one of the fastest easiest and I think kind of most effective ways of supporting the show.

All you've got to do is visit Patreon that's P-A-T-R-E-O-N-D-C-C-T-E-O-N dot com slash Talk Nurdy to learn more about how you can support the show.

Basically you support on an episodic basis, you can support with as little as like a dollar or even less really,

but at the two dollar or more level you can get an

ad-free version of the show and then it just goes up from there. The top patrons

this week include the coolest people in the universe, Daniel Lang, David J. E. Smith, Mary Niva,

and then the coolest people in the galaxy, Brian Holden, Dudas Infonitas, Gabrielle F.

F. Hermio Gonzalez,-Sopara, Leonard Prince, and Ulrika Hagman.

And there's so many more of you that it would take the whole episode to thank, so I just want to give

you all a combined shout out and tell you you I really couldn't do it without you.

All right, let's talk about this week's episode.
