Also, please look through past episodes to verify

0:26.9	$30 or more to the podcast, PayPal at disaster area at mail.com, on Venmo at Disaster Area Podcast,
0:34.3	or on Cash App at Disaster Area Pod. Just add the name of the disaster to the notes
0:39.3	on your donation. If you have an idea for an episode subject but you're not sure if it qualifies,
