We couldn’t make the show without all the people who provide financial support. You can donate to us through Ko-Fi, or buy some of our merch. You can also support us monthly on Patreon and get extra perks as a thank you. We’ve got some new backers to thank this time around: Guardian Lion, Kevin, Sharon Hall, Randy, Peony Foxburr, and several other amazing new donors who haven’t yet given us permission to use their names, but they’re wonderful all the same! We absolutely couldn’t make this show without you.
We’ll be back in two weeks to see you all again. Take care of yourselves and keep watching the Moon!
