Summary

It's early in the morning on a Tuesday when you're awakened by the shaking of your bed, of your entire home. You think for a moment it's the end of the world.

0:00.0	Hello, everybody. This is Jennifer Matterese. Before I get started with the episode today, I'd just like to take care of the usual housekeeping. For starters, paid requests are now reopened. If you're interested in submitting a disaster request, please double check the list of requests. I most recently posted to the podcast, Facebook, and Tumblr accounts to make sure your request has not already been made. Also, please look through past episodes to
0:21.3	verify I haven't already covered the disaster in question. To submit a request, you can send a donation
0:26.4	of $30 or more to the podcast PayPal at Disasterarea atmail.com, on Venmo at Disaster Area Podcast,
0:34.1	or on Cash App at Disaster Area Pod. Just add the name of the disaster to the notes on your
0:38.8	donation or you can email the podcast directly or me directly and get that information to me.
0:46.0	If you have an idea for an episode subject but you're not sure if it qualifies, feel free to message
0:51.1	me and I can approve one way or the other. I have a really large umbrella over which I will cover disasters.
0:58.8	Anything from natural and man-made to financial pop culture, anything like that, I will consider.
1:09.4	If it's true crime, I may kind of try to bend it back a little more
1:14.9	into the disaster arena. But as long as you give me a pretty good argument, I'm willing to
1:21.4	give it a go. The subject for this episode was chosen by Kyle, and I'd like to thank him for the
1:26.0	request and for the donation.
1:31.6	If you'd still like to help support the podcast, you can do so with a one-time donation through PayPal, Venmo, or cash app, or on a per-episode basis through Patreon at www.com
1:38.0	slash disaster area podcast. A per-episode donation of even as little as a dollar an episode
1:43.9	can help me do things like pay the rent and keep the lights on.
1:47.7	And if you do join the Patreon, you will get new episodes ad-free as soon as I record them rather than waiting until they are released.
1:54.2	So if you do become a patron, I would very much appreciate it.
1:56.9	You can also follow the podcast on Facebook at Disaster Area Podcast, on Instagram at Disaster
2:02.2	Area Pod, and on Tumblr at Disaster Area Dash Podcast. Also, please think about rating and
2:08.0	reviewing the podcast on which other podcast app that you might listen to us on. Apple Podcast, Spotify,
2:14.3	Audible, whatever. It brings us up in the algorithm, or I should say bring some
2:18.2	me up in the algorithm. And so it gets the podcast more listeners, fingers crossed.
