You are listening to Benjamin Walker's Theory of Everything.

At Radiotopia, we now have a select group of amazing supporters that help us make all our shows possible. If you would like to have your company or

product sponsor this podcast then get in touch drop a line to sponsor at radiotopia

fm. Thanks. Hey dear listener, it's me Benjamin Walker. I just

want to say a quick thank you to everyone who's already donated to support Radiotopia

and this show during our fall fundraiser.

It's always great to hear from so many of you out there in listener land who feel

moved and connected to support the things we make. Our fundraiser is coming to a

close later this month and if we reach our goal of 1,000 donors after the

holidays we'll share a digital zine with everyone who donated to help us get there

but we're still a little short. As of recording this we are still needing 160 more listeners to join the fold. If you've been on the fence or

meaning to donate, please consider making your tax deductible gift today to support independent podcasts like this one.

Head over to radiotopia.F.M slash donate and make your gift today. Thank you so much for listening and supporting this show.

Meet Dustin Nemos.

He's the founder of Galt's Retreat, a brand new intentional community

that he's building in the Rolling hills of Tennessee.

Wanted to Homestead didn't have the money anymore to buy land.

So we got together as a group with other people that have the same philosophy,

the same value system as us.
