| 0:00.0 | Hi, everybody. Kevin here, co-creator and lead writer of, you know, the podcast you're listening to. |
| 0:05.9 | A few quick announcements about why we need your help right now, what we're offering you in return, |
| 0:10.7 | and why now's the time to get into Thirst, and how you can still help us if you don't have money for donations. |
| 0:17.6 | Long story short, we still don't have the funding we need to keep going at the pace we've been |
| 0:22.7 | going indefinitely we expected and planned for a dip in support after the end of juno and second |
| 0:27.7 | citadel and we knew it would take a while before we knew whether thirst was going to take off so |
| 0:32.4 | we aren't shutting down or anything but if you've been considering supporting us on supercaster |
| 0:36.2 | patreon and just haven't pulled the trigger yet it would mean the world to us if you could do so now. A misconception |
| 0:41.9 | we've seen floating around is that Rusty Quill has either purchased our podcast or that they're |
| 0:46.4 | funding us directly and therefore we don't need your contributions anymore. But that's not really |

| 1:06.5 | to survive in its current form. |
| 1:08.0 | We're still completely independent, completely self-funded, and |
| 1:11.6 | completely teeny tiny. We're all pretty used to it now, but remember that I'm drafting |
| 1:17.0 | what are essentially two 45-minute-ish-long episodes of TV every single month completely solo, |
| 1:24.5 | and Harley's revising, directing, and sound designing those episodes for you to hear |
| 1:28.0 | them for free. It's a massive amount of work, and there is nothing else in the world I would rather |
| 1:32.7 | do, but it takes significant amounts of time. And the fact is, without your help, we cannot make |
| 1:38.1 | that time happen. And that's before we even get to paying a fair rate to the actors, artists, |
| 1:42.5 | musicians, and everyone else who makes this what it is. We have only been able to tell the weird, ambitious, lengthy |
