Hello, before we get started, I just wanted to announce that Lena and I are guest starring on this week's episode of the podcast, The Missletoe Secret, which is a podcast hosted by Trey Plutnicki and Daniel Kunkel, where they are watching every movie in the Hallmark Christmas movie canon, talking about each one, and then trying to prove how they all take place in an interconnected

cinematic universe much like the MCU but it's the HCU the HCU the hallmark cinematic universe

we are on this week talking about the 2013 movie the Christmas spirit there's also a bonus

episode of us watching the movie with live commentary if you want to

watch alone. So be sure to check that out, The Mistleto's Secret on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Hey friends, it's Ian from TV's The Recovering Gleek, colon, ugly podcast. When Lean and I first

decided to make this podcast, we quickly realized we had literally zero idea of how to make that happen.

Thankfully, a friend of ours recommended the podcasting platform Anchor.

Anchor is free.

It has all of the tools you need to record and edit your podcast from your phone or computer.

You can even add songs from Spotify into it.

And the absolute most amazing thing about Anchor is that they will distribute your podcast

for you.

So anywhere that you listen to recovering Gleek, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, whatever weird third-party

app you're using.

It is there because Anchor put it there.

And the icing on the cake is that you can make money from your podcast through Anchor with no minimum

listenership.

All you have to do is record an ad, which is why I am recording an ad right now, because I want money very badly.

It is everything you need to make a podcast in one place. Download the free Anchor app or go to

anchor.fm to get started. I'm recording. I'm recording. I can be you. Can I got the lyrics on? Be my best friend. I can be you can I got the lyrics song be my best friend

I can be your right on
