Hey everyone, Brian here, a quick favor.

We're conducting an audience survey.

We'd be really grateful if you could take just a few minutes and answer our survey.

This is the kind of thing that's sort of an engineering and marketing necessity to make

the whole free podcast ecosystem flourish.

So please check it out.

So surveys are fun.

You get to talk about yourself.

Please visit survey.prx.org slash scaptoid to take the survey today.

That's survey.prx.org slash SKEPTOID.

Thanks.

You're listening to scaptoid.

I'm Brian Dunning from scaptoid.com.
