hey everyone, I've had a lot of time to lay around plagued with a recent sickness, and realized that the move to use outside ads (as few as they may be) on the main Relax With Animal Facts show was a mistake. I thought that I had thought this through sufficiently, but I genuinely hate the decision I made, and have laid awake at night thinking about it. I will dig into my own pockets a little bit if necessary to have an editor—I can't go about doing it this way. I love the show and its audience too much, it's been too long to compromise. Relax With Animal Facts will remain pure, without any outside insertion, forever.  I ask that you forgive my ill-made decisions. -stef

We have gotten the opportunity to join a wonderful podcast network! This would mean more episodes a week, as I could do podcasting full time. We could continue to grow as a podcast family, and even support some causes together. The only thing is, ads (through the network) would be what help us do that. By joining the network, there would have to be ads that run on the show (I am not not exactly sure in which slots). There will be an option to pay a dollar a month to get ad free new episodes on Spotify specifically, and ad free episodes will also be available on Patreon (which can be linked to Spotify). This is a surreal opportunity, but I want your feedback. Please let me know what you think.
