Introduction

Karen Finerman: I want to thank all of our brand new patrons on patreon.com, which is a site where you can go and pledge a couple bucks to listen to and add free version of the show. This week's wonderful patrons are Nancy Smith, Tala Ray, Amanda Provost, Evie George, and Lauren Harms. At $5 a month, you get access to the special Patreon poetry fee with over 50 extra poetry readings that are separate from the regular podcast fee. Regardless of how much you donate, I will read your name in the opening credits of the next show after you do.
