    [laughs] As, uh, as a reminder, 404 Media is a journalist-owned and operated publication. Uh, we could really use your support. You can go to 404media.co to subscribe. You will get bonus episodes and bonus segments, uh, as well as early access to our interview podcast, which comes out every Friday for subscribers and every Monday for non-subscribers.
