Hello, friends.

Before we jump in today, I wanted to say thank you to all of you for your support,

all of our patrons and people who reach out to us.

We are immensely grateful and you definitely make this show go.

In the new year, we're looking forward to continuing the show and doing it three times a week.

But we're basically in a place where we need to continue to raise revenue and raise money in order to do that.

For Dan and I, this is a passion project.

It's something that takes up a lot of time, especially for me.

I'm the writer, the producer, the interviewer, the editor and all of those things.

And so with a newborn and with job responsibilities and all kinds of other things,

both Dan and I are basically staring down a scenario where we need to kind of figure out

how we can balance all of those obligations with the time it takes to do this show.

Not just once, not just twice, but three times a week.

And so if you have not thought about becoming a patron yet, please think about that today.

Or if you would like just an ad free experience without having to sign up for patron and all that stuff,

you can find that in our show notes as well.

It would really help us.

It would really help us continue to do this work.

We love it, but it is immensely time consuming.

One of the things we hope to do is hire an editor, which would take a lot of burden off of me
