The channel/podcast is now 7 and a half years old!

I plan on doing this for the rest of my life, and keep on bringing you interviews with leading scholars, academics, and rising stars in the sciences and the humanities.

To keep the channel/podcast sustainable in the long run, I need to get to $920 of monthly support on Patreon. I am around $80 away from it. So, I would like to ask you to please consider supporting the show there.

I have noticed that I have 225 total members on Patreon, and 159 paid ones. So, if a few more of you could become paid members, it would be awesome and would certainly help me reach my goal.

I am leaving the links to my Patreon page and to PayPal, if you can so kindly support me there. You also get all sorts of benefits on Patreon.
