    Thank you to all of you for listening, but especially to our Patreon Supporters for kicking in a little money each month to help make this possible. Specifically, thank you to Kate Macintyre-Ross, Zareh Gorjian, Rin-senpai, Funeral Cleavage, Rochelle Mantanona, and the GeekNights Podcast for donating $5 or more each month.
