Hello everyone and welcome to Talk Nurdy. Today is Monday June 18th and I'm

your host Kara Santa Maria. Now Talk Nurdy isn't't a Hallways Be 100% free to download and you know

that I have a dual model on the show. Basically I read ads that pays for about

half of the expenses of running the show, buying equipment, paying my assistant who helps out with quite a bit,

and also paying the editor who keeps the show going.

Gosh, I just simply moving over to a model where I utilize the services of the incredible

editors at Pro Podcast Solutions has been so helpful because now that I'm back in school I do not

have the time but guys all this stuff gets

expensive and I want to make sure that everybody can always listen to the show for free

that's really important to me that's never going to change so like I said I have a

hybrid model I read ads in the

middle of the show and I also rely on support from listeners like you, just sort of

of like the public TV or the public radio model and I use a service called

Patreon because I trust them

they're incredible and it really is a community where you can support lots of

content creators so if you're interested in supporting the show all you have to do is

go to patreon dot com slash TalkNurdy and you can read all about

how to do it.

So I want to thank the top patrons this week and they include Rob Shrek right there at the top,

supporting the show in the highest tier that I offer.

Gosh Rob, thank you so much.

It's just been so incredibly helpful.
