Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Muckrake podcast. I'm Jerry Dayt Sexton. I am here with Nick

Howselman. A quick little reminder this Thursday, July 28th, 7 p.m. Eastern, we're going to be doing a

live taping of our bonus weekender show with our patrons.

All you have to do to gain access to that is.

Go over to patreon.com slash m.

Craig podcast again this Thursday, July 28th, 7 p.m. Eastern.
