Hey everyone. So Melody and I have an important favor to ask. Melody, what's going on?

Okay, you know how on late night shows the host will ask celebrities to read mean tweets about

themselves? This is kind of like that. I was looking at our reviews on Apple Podcasts, and this one made me laugh, but also kind of cringe, so I'm going to read it to you.

The subject line is, what?

Question mark, question mark.

It says, I just subscribed to this pod and was looking through the episodes, and they sounded good, but a couple days later, the first episode of my feed from them is about queer romance.

That's not what I subscribed for. And from what I can tell, it doesn't seem relative. I think they mean relevant to the

rest of the podcast, question mark, question mark, question mark. It's just random. So I unsubscribe because

that's not what I want to listen to. What in the world is this podcast even about? Question mark, question

mark. This podcast even about? Question mark, question mark.

This podcast is about many things, including queer romance. So we have a huge favor to ask of you

as listeners, whatever app you're listening in now, could you leave a nice review and maybe include

what you like about the pod and what you think

it's about? Or you can take it in any direction that you'd like.

We always say that it helps people find the podcast, but I think in this instance, you can

help people from unsubscribing because they don't get what they signed up for.

Okay, so this should only take two minutes. It's actually super easy on whatever platform you use, and it's an easy way to support the show

without spending any money.

So thank you.

Enjoy today's show.

This is the Culture Study podcast, and I'm Anne Helen Peterson.
