Hello, Johnny Long here.

Hello, Johnny Long here.

Clearly you are somewhat enjoying this podcast, otherwise you wouldn't be listening.

The simple proposition is if you like something and want it to stick around,

please consider paying for it. And the only reason this all exists is because people are paying for it,

but we need all of you. We know you're out there, listen to this for free, and that's's fine because we're good honest people and we're not scraping your data to find out where you live and knocking on your door with a bucket Demarding your chakatenerin instead we're supposed to give you value propositions or to tug on your heartstrings to make you sign up, like

we're those poorly animals from the daytime TV adverts.

I'm going to make my pitch simpler.

Pay for the things you enjoy, otherwise there's the risk they disappear.

Media is a tough business and while we've made a great start, there's still a long way to go.

Consider what these podcasts and the rest of our media is worth to you,

and hopefully that amount is above zero ideally.

So if you regularly listen to these podcasts and are not yet a member,

please strongly consider signing up

so that we can continue making these podcasts

and all the other articles and media you enjoy.

Go to escape collective.com forward slash member to sign up.

And thanks so much if you already have. Welcome back to Placeholder Podcast, everybody. I'm Kayle Fritz. Jo. Kit Nicholson, welcome

back to the show. Joe. And Johnny Long.

Hello, hello, already.

You're looking a little orange.

I know.
