Hello friends or should I call you the Nurd Corps.

We will get to that a little bit later,

but before we do, I just want to welcome you

to a brand new episode of Talk Nurdie.

I'm your host, Kara Santa Maria. We are

celebrating today our 20th episode. It's a very exciting landmark and I just want to

take a moment to thank all of you who make this possible by

downloading, by listening, by rating and reviewing on iTunes and Stitcher and those of you who lend

your support in other ways. I want to give a shout out right now to

Jeff Sewall, who makes an automatic monthly payment to Talk nerdy to support the

podcast your donation goes a really long way in keeping this content free and

available to everybody I also want to thank a few more people who made

donations within the last week. I want to think Salvador Bustos from

Sun Valley, California. I would like to thank, oh let's see if I can pronounce your name right here,

Nickyil Desmuc,

hopefully that's correct,

from Princeton, New Jersey.

I also want to thank Rick Richardson from Elma Washington and I want to thank all of you

who have made purchases through the Talk Nurdy Store buying t-shirt stickers

buttons and even slap bracelets because all of those

proceeds go to support the podcast as well. All right, today I am really

excited to welcome my special guest, Christina Ochoa.
