0:21.1	through past episodes to verify I haven't already covered the disaster in question. To submit a request,

0:32.4	on Venmo at Disaster Area Podcast, or on Cash App at Disaster Area Pod. Just add the name of the disaster to the notes on your donation.
0:40.3	If you have an idea for an episode subject, but you're not sure if it qualifies, feel free
