That and more but first this is the second of our two max fun drive episodes

We are right in the middle of our big annual pledge drive to help keep this show running if you don't know

Risk is a proud member of the wonderful podcast network maximum fun

We are one of a slew of super smart super beautifully produced

Super funny high quality podcasts all independent productions and yet also a big happy family under the ages of one of the

Godfathers of podcasting the wonderful mr. Jesse Thorn and when I say we are

Your lovely host Kevin Allison. I still live in a month to month state of anxiety over whether or not

Whatever we have to do to keep this thing running. We're gonna do it because we love it so very much

We believe in it so very dearly. There's just no other place where you can hear people sharing

This explicitly this
