A fun thing to do if you can afford it is to give money to someone doing good work so that they both have more money, can do more work, and feel appreciated for doing the good work

Hey everyone, the newest episode is basically done. Unfortunately @transistor.fm’s website has been down since last night, so I haven’t been able to put this episode up. I’m gonna give it a bit, and if things aren’t back to running by tomorrow, I’ll just drop the episode on Patreon with no paywall.
