Hey, weirdos, as we get closer to Halloween and our 10-year anniversary of this podcast,

I'd love to get your opinions on how I'm doing, what you like, what you don't like,

what you'd like to see more of, what you'd change if you were in charge, well, you get the idea.

I have a new Weird Darkness survey on the website so you can send me your opinions, and it's

completely anonymous, so you can be completely

honest. This is a new survey, so even if you did give your opinion before, you can do so again,

and I'd appreciate you doing so. Visit weirddarkness.com slash survey. That's weirddarkness.com

slash survey. Hi. I'm Darren Marler, host of the Weird Darkness podcast. I'd like to talk to you about something that's very near and dear to my heart, my career.

We've had a great run with Weird Darkness, and this October we'll celebrate 10 years doing this show.

Ten years.

We've had great reviews, a great response from amazing listeners like you, but unfortunately

now, we're not as well known as we could be.

What that means is that I won't be able to win meaningless and irrelevant podcast awards.

I won't be able to humble brag on newly acquired accolades and magazine article interviews.

I won't reach one million subscribers. And who wants to live in a world like that?

Did you know that for the price of a single bag of weird dark roast coffee in a weird

darkness mug, or the price of clothing yourself with a weird darkness t-shirt or hoodie,

that you can help me buy 0.01% of an ad on Google?

It's true, and it's just that easy. Share the podcast. Get involved.

Your small act of sharing with only 10, 20, or even 50,000 friends and loved ones can bring

this podcast to literally tens of people.

Isn't that what's most important in this world?
