Hello listeners. Forced tonight I planned ahead in a lot of ways for the possibility of the show being part two of part two

But one thing we overlooked was recording its own intro

So I'm slapping this one down today on the release day just to get the show posted for you as soon as possible

Since he's tied up at work

I want to quickly cover two things a lot of you've been supporting us on our patreon page and we're thrilled

We cannot thank you enough. I've been a little behind on reward fulfillment there

A lot behind actually but I'm hoping to catch up as soon as this show is posted so thank you for your patience

As we mentioned all of our patreon supporters are gonna get dibs on the full interview with professor Abbott

And those at the three dollar and above level will have access to the transcript of the interview

Created by Sarah Boogie and proved by dr Abbott himself

Additionally our show is really growing. We're finally starting to line up some real sponsorships

Which is outstanding news

The combination of support from patrons and sponsors will get us much closer to our goal of making this our full-time gig

And producing tighter shows more often

This particular episode doesn't have a sponsorship in it, but our future ones may have one or even two

No one likes commercials. I should know I cut them for almost 20 years

But conversely creative content takes time, money and effort and on a show like ours more effort than you can imagine

We wouldn't even be where we are now if we didn't have the astonishing league of astonishing volunteers

whom we are so grateful for

But when the time comes for ads to start being a part of our show do us a favor

If we're talking about something you're gonna buy anyway

Please go out of your way to do it through our sponsors and any links
