and I'm forever grateful to those of you who have contributed

and helped make this show possible.

The fun thing about Patreon is that in addition to helping make this show a reality, you also get perks for yourself so you can participate in our virtual book club, submit questions to our guests, get shoutouts on the show, and a lot more.

Okay please do me a huge favor and rate and review this show. The word is starting to build around the stacks and that's super exciting and the more

ratings and reviews we get, the more people we can reach, which in turn means I can reach out to

more cool and diverse guests.

So if you would take a few moments wherever you're listening, especially iTunes, and write us

a short review. Okay, now it's time for the short stacks.

I'm really excited for you all to meet our guest, Juan Vidal,

and hear our conversation about his book, Rap Dad.

It's a great primer for our deep dive into the book on the
