Ads. Added the bumper ads back to the beginning and end of the podcast- pulling in income from other industries to help put income into ours. 

Also! We've joined the Mood Affilliate program. No cost to you, but some cash from your purchases comes our way if you click one of our links.

Ads: if you're a small business (in our industry, related to this), and you're struggling and could use some ads, message me and we'll give you access to our audience, on the house. 

If your politics include voting for someone who would have mom's citizenship stripped, and block us from visiting our family in Iran, we will not be airing (or comping) ads for your business, of course.
