| 0:00.0 | Hello, everybody. This is Jennifer Matarise. And before I get started with the episode today, I 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. Now, I need to |
| 0:21.4 | post an updated list as soon as possible, but I should be getting to that next week. Also, |
| 0:26.9 | please look through past episodes to verify I haven't already covered the disaster in question. |
| 0:31.5 | To submit a request, you can send a donation of $30 or more to the podcast, PayPal at |
| 0:36.6 | Disasterarea at Mail.com, on Venmo at |
| 0:39.7 | Disaster Area Podcast, or on Cash App at Disaster Area Pod. Just add the name of the disaster |
| 0:45.3 | to the notes on your donation. If you have an idea for an episode subject, but you're not sure |
| 0:49.7 | if it qualifies, feel free to message me, and I can approve one way or another. The subject from this |
| 0:55.0 | particular episode was requested by Matthew and Amy, and I'd like to thank them for the request |
| 0:59.1 | and for the donation. Now, if you'd still like to help support the podcast, you can do so with a |
| 1:03.4 | one-time donation through PayPal, Venmo, or Cash App, or on a per-episode basis through |
| 1:07.8 | Patreon at www. patreon.com slash disaster area podcast. A per episode donation |
| 1:14.9 | of even as little as a dollar an episode can help me do things like pay the rent and keep the lights on. |
| 1:19.7 | And if you do join the Patreon, you'll get new episodes ad free as soon as I record them, |
| 1:24.3 | rather than waiting until they are released. So if you do become a patron, I would very much appreciate it. |
