You're listening to Radiotopia Presents from PRX's Radiotopia.

Hi, this is Robin from Radiotopia.

Before we get started, I want to thank everyone who regularly supports this show.

Thanks to listeners like you, we're able to bring you the shows you love

exactly how our creators want to make them.

If you just can't imagine your podcast listening without us in your ears,

we do so favor and become a monthly supporter? Monthly supporters are so important to us because they

help our shows project their budget for the coming months.

To get into the nitty gritty, the money raised for Radiotopia is split across all the shows

in the network. A small percentage offsets the support that Radiotopia gives to each of our shows, like privacy first

podcasting technology, marketing to help us reach more listeners like you and fundraising and business support.

Your support means will not just survive but thrive at a time when independence is rare.

You can become a supporter at radiotopia.

F.M. slash donate.

Thank you so much.

Hey everyone, Afia here.

Coming out of semi-retirement to A, wish you a happy holidays in all the love and warmth

and boundary setting necessary for the time you may be spending with your family.

And B, to bring you this podcast that I mentioned at the end of my last episode, Afroqueer. It's a show about queer Africans living, loving, surviving, and thriving on the African

continent and in diaspora and making them feel all seen and stuff. So yeah, that's me I'm talking about myself.

I'm so proud to be able to do this. They've been trailblazing in these

podcast streets for years and they're just getting better.
