Hey, it's me, Alex, and I have a tip for you about the Patreon page for this podcast.

We are approaching our second ever group goal on Patreon.

The first one was the mini membership drive.

I don't know if you remember that, but I sent out stickers and I wrote cards,

and you guys blew out the goal for that.

That was amazing.

If we reach the next Patreon benchmark,

there will be a large enough group of SIFPOD supporters for me to begin offering democracy.

Once a few more of you back the show, I will start taking episode topic suggestions from listeners on Patreon.

And then we'll have a monthly vote on topics that are suggested, I think are particularly promising.

And then the winner becomes an episode.

So if you've been enjoying the podcast but haven't begun supporting it yet, have just been kind of cruising along listening to the main shows, this is a great time to start.

So do that thing. Support the show by visiting sifpod.fod. Fun. That takes you to the

Patreon page where you can get an immediate bundle of tons of supporter benefits, including a

library of almost two dozen bonus shows, just right there. And if enough of you step up and join in,

all supporters will gain a whole new benefit. You'll gain a voice in what these podcasts are about.

So let's do that. Let's make 2021 a democratic version of this podcast. And in the meantime,

here's a new episode.

Random numbers. Known for being random. Famous for what I just said.

Nobody thinks much about them, so let's have some fun.

Let's find out why random numbers are secretly incredibly fascinating.

Music Hey there, folks, welcome to a whole new podcast episode.
