Hey, it's me, Alex Schmidt. As you know, this podcast is patrons supported. It depends on you going to siphpod.

Dot Fun, joining in the fun being someone who makes this whole podcast possible.

Anyway, on top of that system, I decided to affiliate this podcast with a company that's doing something special.

The company is called Libro.fm. Libro.fm sells

audiobooks, and they do it differently than the one giant corporation that probably sells

you audiobooks right now. Libro.fm partners with more than 1,300 local bookstores in the

U.S. and Canada and a few other countries, what happens is when you buy

an audiobook from Libro.fm, part of the purchase price goes to that local independent bookstore near

you. You probably have a favorite one in mind. They are probably a partner of Libro.fm. So shop through

them, help your bookstore. everybody wins. And when I say

everybody wins, I mean it, because by partnering with Libro.fm, I can offer you a deal. Use

code SIFPa to checkout to get two audiobook credits for the price of one. Those credits never expire.

Those credits can go toward any of more than 150,000 audiobooks in the Libro.fm catalog.

And that code helps me.

That code helps me keep doing this podcast in the first place.

If you're a long-time listener, you've probably heard me talk about Libro.fm before.

They're the only company I've affiliated or partnered this podcast with. Also, this podcast

depends on patrons, so I make sure patrons get an ad-free promotion-free experience. If you'd prefer

that, if you'd like episodes with none of this kind of stuff, head to siftpod. Fun, become someone

who backs this show and gets a ton of benefits

on top of that. So please consider doing that and making this podcast possible. And in the meantime,

please enjoy a whole new episode. Bage, known for being a color. Famous for being boring.
