The home of homes. Hello, everyone, and welcome to Talk Nerdy.

Today is Monday, November 24th, 2025, and I'm the host of the show, Dr. Kara, Santa Maria.

So a happy Thanksgiving to all of my American listeners. I am actually out of the

country this week and will be, I think, actually on an airplane on Thanksgiving proper. It's a good time

to fly. You wouldn't think it is, but when you fly on the actual day, I say that now as I pre-record this, but usually it's a little

less expensive, at least to and fro the U.S., the rest of the world obviously doesn't have

any indication of that. I am yammering on, but I'm really excited about this week's episode.

Before I get into it, it's a big one, it's an important one.

But before I get into it, I do want to thank you.

Again, Talk Nerdy is and will always be 100% free to download.

I'm finally starting back up again in December.

But this whole time I've just been podcasting, that's been my only source of income.

amazing producer slash, uh, executive assistant slash friend slash, I don't know, emotional support.
