As much as I want more people to listen for free, recent changes in my life require me to start pushing the Patreon more. Unfortunately, this means  the occasional passive aggressive addenda like this one reminding you, dear listener, that I have been doing this show alone for almost 4 years and I get no sponsorships or outside help.  I rely on normal people like you to keep going so if you can donate, please do! It will make a big difference for me and let me keep making this content.*
