Hello, dear listeners. I wanted to mention a couple things before we start this week's

Patreon Apple Plus episode from The Volt, a tale about a dangerous 80s video game that appeared

in arcades with possible links to the mysterious government agents known as the men in black

and then disappeared without a trace.

First, I want to mention that we have new merch finally available at AmericanHisteria.com.

We have our classic Razor Blade Apple logo on T-shirts, long-sleevee shirts,

and now featuring crop tops. That's right, boys. We also have T-shirts, baseball t-shirts, long-sleeve shirts, and now featuring crop tops. That's right, boys. We also have

T-shirts, baseball t-s, and crop tops for our fake advocacy club, Folk Devils United, with the slogan

Scapegoats Against Scapegoating. We are also now featuring our brand new merch design, Are You Afraid of the Podcast,

The Tale of an American Hysteria, which is, of course, our tribute to the 90s kids horror show,

Are You Afraid of the Dark?

And we've got t-shirts, long sleeves, and crop tops.

We also have tote bags and stickers of these designs as well.

All profits from merch this month will be going to the Samir Project,

a mutual aid group who are on the ground in Gaza providing food, water, baby formula, diapers,

temporary shelter, medical supplies, and cash envelopes directly to

displaced families. So visit Americanhysteria.com or go to the link in the episode notes

and get some merch now to support the Samir Project. One more thing. If American

Hysteria has been important to you and you can spare

$3 a month, your support can really help as our financial situation has recently changed and we

are working to make sure we can keep making this show that we love to make for you and keep it free

for as many people as possible. If you join either Patreon
