Summary
On this episode, we preview some of the stories we have in the works, share feedback from you (our listeners), and introduce you to the people behind the scenes at Out There.
We also offer a vision for the future. We talk about what we want to build with Out There, what kind of company we hope to become, and how you fit into that picture.
Also, because it's Giving Tuesday, we're asking for your help in supporting Out There. Support comes in all different forms -- whether it's making a donation, writing us a review on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts, recommending the show to others, or buying Out There swag (which, by the way, is 20% off today; listen to the episode for the discount code!)
We are continually humbled by the kind words and generous contributions we receive from listeners, and we can't thank you enough for your support. Here's to many wonderful years to come!

| 0:00.0 | I don't have kids yet, would like to, and the whole prospect of having a family, starting a family, kind of leaves me feeling extremely a little anxious because it's such a huge change and I think how am I going to be able to manage this? |
| 0:22.6 | Hi. how am I going to be able to manage this? Hi, I'm Willow Belden and you're listening to a special bonus episode of Out There. |

| 0:44.2 | why we're releasing an episode on a Tuesday. It's because today is Giving Tuesday, which is a time |

| 1:07.4 | and maybe you're thinking, oh, they've got sponsors now, they don't need my money. |
| 1:12.9 | I'm here to tell you nothing could be further from the truth. I've sunk thousands of my own dollars into this show, and I don't even want to start counting the number of |
| 1:17.6 | hours I put into it on a weekly basis. And yet, I still don't pay myself anything. I also don't |

| 1:31.9 | So far, all the money we've raised has been going toward the show's basic expenses, |
