Hello constant listener and welcome to this in-between season break of

Han and Cosmos. In this time of limbo where production on the main shows of

next season is in full swing we want to make sure we don't

leave anyone hanging.

To that end, we will be releasing episodes of our special weekly patron-only show called

the Dusty Tome to all of you for the next six weeks until the first episode of season three drops to the public.

These shows that will release make up a series that we did on the broad topic of

witches and the particular topic of the Salem witch trials. These episodes

originally dropped to patrons over the month of October in 2023 and so the series culminates with a general history of

Halloween or the Hallowtide. We hope you enjoy this taste of what it's like to be a patron of our show.

None of it's possible without them. And if you like what you hear,

consider becoming a patron yourself. Not only will you gain access to a 40-plus episode

backlog of the Dusty Tome with new episodes dropping every week.

But depending on your tier level, you could also get early access to add free main episodes.

That's a pretty good deal if you ask me.

But enough of me just rambling.

Do you guys know that I'm going to be turning 40 this year?

What?

What? Yeah, looking back, one of my biggest regrets is that I didn't know the basics of investing. That whole world was foreign to me and I didn't know where to go to get help. The thing is I missed decades of opportunities

to build inheritances for my kids and to take care of my wife and me in retirement.

You know what, and I'm in somewhat of the same spot except I still have all my hair.

My eyes glaze when people talk about IRAs, life insurance and tax strategies.
