Hi everyone, Garrett here.

What you're about to hear is a collection of podcast excerpts that our good friend Tom Merritt put together.

This collection really moved me.

I asked Tom for his permission to repost this special to our feed and he told us to please do so.

We're going to be back with our regularly scheduled episode. We've always heard from many of you that in

in dark times, hard times, whatever you want to call it that. Many of you come to our

shows for an escape. We don't want to take that away. Here's what I want you

dear listeners to keep in mind with listening to us or any of your other favorite

podcasts, youtubers, twitch streams.

It's a recharge.

Let it recharge you so that you can stand up for those

that need you to.

We've stuck with this community with gaming for so long

because this community has been there for us when we've really needed it.

Black Americans as well as black communities around the world

need us right now. Please listen to these excerpts like you're about to hear Tom

Merritt say. Just listen.

There won't be a daily tech news show today.

This is my decision.

Instead, we're going to let you hear from some people you know who regularly bring you tech news.

But today, talking about how their lives are different

from many of ours.
