Hey everyone welcome to Talk Nurdy. Today's Monday, February 11th, 2019, and I'm the

host of the show, Kara Santa Maria. And I want to start out as always by thanking those of you who make

talk nerdy possible. Remember our talk nerdy is and will always be a hundred

percent free to download and that's mostly because of support from

listeners just like you.

I have a dual model on the show, I read ads in the middle which help pay for the production

and the time because this is really a one-woman band.

I do have an assistant, an incredible assistant named

Noel and got to pay her as well so that's super helpful. Also I work with a team of

editors over at Pro Podcast Solutions and got to pay those bills as well.

So I read ads in the middle of the show, but I really do rely on support from listeners

just like you through the Patreon model.

If you're interested in pledging your support you can visit Patreon.com slash talk nerdy just like

Rob Shrek, Pedro M Rosario Barbosa, Phil T-Bare, the zombie drummer, W

Pedro M Rosario Barbosa, Phil T Bear, The zombie drummer David J. E. Smith, Jeffrey Perez, Charles Payette,

Jafe, Gabriel Felipe, Hermio Gonzalez, Brian Holden, and Jeffrey Sewall have done.

And if you want to show your support in other ways, you can rate and review on, I think it's

called Apple Podcast now. I keep saying iTunes, on Apple Podcasts, on Google Google Podcasts anywhere else that you download your shows

and you can visit the talk nerdy store it's talk nerdy merch dot com and support the show by you know rocking some cool new talk nerdy

merch there are t-shirts tank tops hoodies beanies hats all sorts of stuff

tote bags you can buy the books that I've been involved in and I can send you a signed copy that way.

A lot of cool ways to support the show both financially but also by rocking some cool gear, so definitely check it out.
