Show notes

HELLO

Thanks for the support! It's been really great to be back. We launched a Patreon this year, and although none of you needed to sign up for it, you did, and that means a lot to us.

Tees for the Patreon Tee Club ($12 tier) will be printed in late-January and shipped out ASAP. Thanks so much for being a part of it. We had almost 80 peeps get involved, and that rules. We'll try to do and exclusive tee on a quarterly or bi-annual basis depending on what you guys want.
