Hello everyone and welcome to talk nerdy. Today is Monday, April 9th, 2018 and I'm

your host Kara Santa Maria. I recently returned from the Amazon

rainforest in Peru. It was incredible. I talk about it a bit on the most recent

episode of The Skeptics Guide to the

universe so I definitely recommend you check that out and I also recommend you just

watch this space because I'm going to be producing some super cool content from the time

that I spent there with Rainforest Expeditions and I think

you'll get to learn a lot more about the trip that way but I'm posting photos on my

Instagram and more cool stuff on Twitter and Facebook. So check it out and just

stay tuned you guys. This week it's going to be a really fun show but before we

dive into the episode I want to thank those of you who made

talk nerdy possible who continue to make talk nerdy possible the biggest way to

support the show is through Patreon so you just go to patreon dot com Talk Nurdy. You can pledge your support on an

episodic basis as low as a dollar. Everything helps. The biggest supporters this

week include Phil T Bear, right there at the top, and also David J. E. Smith Pedro M Rosario Barbosa,

Jeffrey Perez, Charles Payet, Jonathan Wright, the Honorable Husband,

Jafe Gabriel Felipe Hermio Gonzalez, Brian Holden, and Jeffrey Sewall.

I feel like there's more news, but I can't really remember it because I'm incredibly sleep-deprived right now now trying to finish up this semester

traveling like crazy I'm actually recording this from a hotel room right now and

pleased with the audio quality so far.

But yeah, so I don't know.
