| 0:00.0 | I have a quick but important ask. As you're probably aware, Green Dreamer is an independent |
| 0:07.9 | podcast and we don't take on corporate advertisers to fund our work because we don't want those |
| 0:13.7 | considerations to influence our curiosities or our abilities to question whatever it is that we want to question. |
| 0:22.3 | So if you value and believe in our work, this is our call out. |
| 0:26.8 | We need your direct support in order to continue this podcast. |
| 0:30.7 | And you can help us out so, so much through a paid substack subscription to my newsletter at |
| 0:37.2 | kamea.substack.com or through a one-time |
| 0:40.4 | donation at greendreamer.com slash support. It really means a lot to have you here and we're so |
| 0:47.6 | grateful for whatever form or level of support that you're able to share with us. |
| 0:54.6 | Hey, Green Dreamer, thanks to your direct listener support. |
| 0:58.2 | We are now working on our fall season of the show that will come to you in September. |
| 1:03.8 | If you've listened to the show for a while now, you might have noticed that we've never had |
| 1:07.8 | seasons before because it's always just been ongoing two episodes per week |
| 1:12.9 | every single week. So this was a change that I made recently so that we can properly plan and |
| 1:19.4 | plan better in advance, spend more time doing research, which helps to ensure that we're |
| 1:24.4 | prioritizing quality over quantity because we're all busy and I value |
| 1:29.0 | your time with us. And it's also so that we can better sustain ourselves while keeping up with |
| 1:34.5 | our biweekly publication schedule. I'm personally really committed to keeping the show going |
| 1:39.9 | and always finding the best ways to do that and tweaking things to ensure that we can do that. |
| 1:45.7 | And I just really appreciate the support coming directly from you and our community to help power this independent platform. |
| 1:53.5 | So if you haven't supported the show before, but value our work and hope to keep tuning in, I'd love to get your direct support if you're not struggling financially, |
| 2:01.8 | of course, starting at just $2 at greendreamer.com slash support. I not only want to keep the podcast |
