Hey folks, a quick programming note before we start. It's a quick thank you, and it's good news.

On last week's episode, I talked about having a clean rating for the feed, the public feed

lets anybody listen to it at all with a few cuss words bleeped out. And thanks to your wise advice,

we can keep that going, and we can add a whole new benefit for donors who support this show on Patreon.

Stuff stays the same, and there's one exciting new thing.

Because this main feed that has the main episodes is going to stay exactly the same.

And starting today, donors will get another download of the show with all the words left in, no bleeps, in their bonus feed.

It's an extra thing I can give people for donating.

I'm really excited about it, and I think it meets anybody's needs for exactly how they want

the content to work.

And if you're not a donor yet, and that sounds like an exciting option for you, visit

sifpod.fod.fun.

You can get that, and you can back this entire podcast operation. And hey, enjoy the show.
