Hey, everybody. Just a couple quick notes up front. First, obviously this episode was a week late. And usually when we're late, the next episode comes out as scheduled. But this time we did a swap with Side Story, which you should check out in your podcast app or Sidestory. Show. And Side Story will come out next week. And the Media club plus episode on the village will come out the week after.

So two weeks from today.

Uh, and then we'll just be on that same schedule, uh, of every two weeks from that point forward.

And the next note is that we're currently running a sale on our Patreon, Friends of the Table.catch,

for new patrons. It's a discount on your first month. The discount will run until early morning

on October 1st. You can use the code of burn Thrones for $2 off the $5 tier or build tables for 20% off any other

tier higher than that.

So it doesn't work on the $1 tier, but any other tier build tables for 20% off,

burn thrones for $2 off.

If you listen to Media Club Plus and you haven't checked out other friends of the table things,

and you're not sure if you want to support the show based on a sliver of the output,

first of all, I think that you still should.

You know, the show is worth it, I think.

But I think if you've been holding off, the sale is a great opportunity to hop on a board.

Thank you.

And, oh, I also, I apologize for how bad my voice sounds in this episode.

I had COVID.

I was recovering.

And in my day-to-day life, I sounded fine.

And then I started, I got on mic, and after talking, it really degraded very quickly.

So I apologize for that.

It's not so bad.
