freeman beyond the wall.com forward slash support. I want to explain something right now. If you

support me through Substack or Patreon, you have access to an RSS feed that you can

plug into any podcatcher, including Apple, and you'll be able to listen to the episodes through

there.

If you support me through Subscrib Star, Gumroad, or on my website directly, I will send you a link where you can download the file

It keeps the show going. It allows me to basically put out an episode every day now,

and I'm not going to stop. I'm just going to accelerate.

I think sometimes you see that I'm putting out two, even three a day. And yeah, can't do it

without you. So thank you for the support. Head on over to freeman beyond the wall.com
