Hey guys, Brian here.

Later in this episode, we're going to announce that we're going

listener supported.

We'll explain how, but with one single annual donation, you guys can triple the number of episodes that we're able

to put out every single year.

If you don't want to wait, if you want to go right now, it's Patreon.com slash greatest con.

This is world's greatest con.

I'm Brian Brushwood.

It is hard for me to believe that we are a scant three weeks away from having launched this series. Eight months of effort, untold rewrites.

The day we pressed publish, the day we finally stopped keeping this a secret.

I expected to be excited, I expected to be overjoyed.

What I didn't expect was to be terrified.

And so when I called my co-creator, Justin Robert Young,

he asked if I wanted to go out and celebrate.

And quite honestly, I responded,

no, I'm just gonna sit here and cry for a little bit.

And that's not to invoke sympathy. I'm not trying to do that that but when you undertake something this big and you

sit with it for so long I know we talk about it in the show but there truly is

that moment when you go from totally in control

to totally out of it and there was a wave of realizing how personal I had been how authentic and I was terrified and

and thankfully you guys seem to love it.

So this is our victory lap.
