Hello everyone and welcome to Talk Nurdy. Today is Monday, November 8th,

2021 and I'm the host of the show, Kara Santa Maria.

We have a great guest for you today.

We're gonna be talking about podcasting and science

and kind of getting into some fun debates,

but before we dive in, I wanna tell you that change is a foot.

So I, at the sort of urging, a gentle and kind urging of my incredible community of podcast patrons on Patreon.

I've been thinking quite a lot about how to shake things up

and how to make sure that everybody who pledges their support of the show and who

promotes the show and sponsors the show individually financially is really

getting their money's worth and one of the ways to do that is to shake up my

cheers on Patreon so those of you who aren't patrons yet I hope that in hearing what

I'm about to say you might consider joining this really vibrant community.

Those of you who already are patrons,

don't worry, you're not going to lose anything,

you're only going to gain things.

So let's talk about this.

If you go to Patreon.com slash TalkNurdy, you will learn all about it, but as of today, we are

pushing live an entirely new Patreon system. If you pledge $1 per episode, as before, you will be a friend of talk and nerdy and of course a virtual

hug will be set your way. You have to imagine it a little bit. That's kind of how virtual

hugs work. But I do thank you from the bottom of my heart, but if you up just to $2 per episode,

that's where things start to get interesting.
