Good, very, no, zing.

We're going to be. The The Good evening and welcome to Monsters Among Us.

I am your guide, Derek Hayes.

Hello there, everyone.

Thanks for returning for another spook-filled episode.

I have an excellent show lined up for you guys this evening, but before we get started,

I have a huge announcement I'd like to make.

As many of you may remember, over the past month or so, I've been kicking around possible ways to monetize this show.

I know that sounds like a dirty word, but keep this in mind.

The show takes between 30 and 40 hours a week to produce, in addition to the near $100 a month in hosting fees.

Let me be upfront with each of you.

I do not plan on making a ton of money here,

and I did not start this show simply to cash in. Also, it should be noted that the show you know

and love is not going anywhere. You still get your free episode per week, whether you sign up or not.

With all that out of the way, I am proud and excited to announce the launch of my Patreon page,

a page where listeners like you can support the show and get additional content as well.

Here's how it all works.

As of now, there are three tiers on the page.

The first level, the Chupacchua Cet, is a simple way to donate $1 per month

to support your favorite podcast. And for that, I give you a huge thank you. The second,

the Sasquatch stage, is the level that you want in on. Not only does this level gain you
