Hi there, Ian here.

Radio Topia, the network which makes this show possible, is fundraising this week, and

if you're able, we would love it if you could make a donation to help support shows like

this one.

Sometimes, I think about what this show would be like if it was somewhere else, if it was

not at Radio Topia, if it was somewhere that didn't support creative people the way

Radio Topia does, and I think I would be asked to interview Pepsi about its cool, refreshing

taste.

I think I would be asked to do an interview with a Lockheed Martin missile about all its

great advanced capabilities.

Those are not interviews I want to do.

That's not the show I want to make, and your donations make it possible for me to make

the show I want to make.

For me to make the show that I think you want to hear more than the missile show.

If you can make a donation, please head to radiotopia.fm or check out the show notes to become

a monthly donor today.

Hi, I'm Maryam.

I'm the queen.

I don't know if that's important.

I'm the card, but I just happen to be a queen.

Sure.

Okay.
