Hello, everybody. This is Jennifer Matarise. And before I get started with the podcast today, I'd just like to take care of a little housekeeping first.

If you'd like to help support the podcast, you can do so with a one-time donation through PayPal at disaster area at mail.com.

That's mail, not gmail, or on a per-episode basis through Patreon at www at www.com slash disaster area podcast.

A per episode donation of even as little as a dollar an episode can help me stay home and do the

podcast full time instead of, you know, getting a day job. So if you do become a patron,

I thank you very much. You can also follow the podcast on

Facebook at Disaster Area Podcast and on Twitter and Instagram at Disaster Area Pod. And please think

about rating and reviewing the podcast on iTunes. I know the podcast app in iPhone is just kind of a pain now that they've updated it, but if you can do

that, it's free and it really helps me out. And as always, the sources for each new episode can

be found at disaster areapodcast.orgpress.com. Also, I just like to preemptively apologize

for the names of any people or places which I might

mispronounce.

With that taken care of, thank you very much for listening, and welcome to disaster area.

through job interviews and answer questions about how fascinated we are and have always been

with, say, doing data entry in a bank. After all, we all have to pay the bills, and sometimes

that means answering phone calls from angry customers, or making helmets in a factory, even
