Hi everyone, it's Sean Delin. It's the end of the year. It's literally December 30th, and I just

wanted to take five minutes to make a plea. I know that at the end of the year, many of you are

considering making end of the year donations to charitable or worthy causes for tax purposes,

for the spirit of Christmas or Thanksgiving, or for just giving. And I wanted to just make the

type of plea that I make every year to ask you to consider if you value Warmestory's podcast

to consider donating to us. And you know, I guess I wanted to just kind of maybe explain a few

reasons why you want to consider that. We have had an amazing year in 2022. Absolutely our best

year ever. If I can just take a couple minutes and share with you some of the things I'm most proud of,

YouTube has just been profound. If I can just share just a few stats with you, we have had 19

million YouTube views over the past year with my mind boggling 5.3 million watch time hours. And

just to translate that, you know, people in the world have watched Mormon Stories podcast just on

YouTube for 5.3 million hours worth of watching in the past 365 days. That doesn't count watching

it on Spotify or on Facebook or listening to it on their podcast iPods or on their mobile devices.

So we're talking 10 plus million hours of people consuming Mormon Stories content. It's kind of
