Hello everyone and welcome to talk nerdy. It's Monday February 20th and I'm your host

Kara Santa Maria. We have a great episode for you today but before we dive in I want to

thank those of you who made Talk Nurdy possible this week.

As you know, because I say it over and over at the beginning of the podcast,

I've made it my mission to ensure that Talk Nurdy is and will always remain 100% free to download,

which means you can listen to it anytime, anywhere, and you don't have to pay a penny.

But the way that I can do that is through generous support from listeners like you

along with the ad sales that I do throughout the podcast. We do have one ad later in the

show but at the top of the show I love to thank those of you who have made it possible throughout the week.

There's a couple different ways that you can, actually there's more than a couple ways.

There's a few ways you can support the show, but you can find all of them by visiting my website

kara Santa Maria.com there you can click through to the most popular form of

support which is my Patreon portal where you can pledge to support the

the show on an episodic basis.

You can also just click to do a one-time or a monthly recurring

support via the PayPal link there.

And lastly, you can buy merchandise on the website.

And I'm thinking about starting to sell one new product,

which I'll tell you about once I get it in my hands

and can promote it a little bit further.

And I do think there's a chance

I'll have more of those Charlie and the Tortoise books on the website soon so I'll be able to offer those signed copies.
