It is loud as it sort of shambles and groans, but through that sound, you can hear another sound sort of echoing through the library coming from deeper in the house.

It is the sound of piano strings being scratched in a sort of frantic rhythm.

We have been a part of the network.

Well, I mean, Taz has been a part of the network since it started.

That is how much trust that they showed in this little startup project.

And here we are, Define the Odds, 12 years later, still rolling.

We've been able to really, really put a lot of work into this show, hire people to work on it and continue to make it what it is thanks to listeners like you.

By going to MaximumFun.org join, you pick the shows you listen to.

Some of the money that you give each month goes to MaxFun to help us with the administrative side of things that we don't know how to do.

And the rest of it goes directly to the shows that you pick to support.

It is an incredibly direct way of keeping stuff that you like going in the world.

If you jump up to $10 a month, you get an enamel pin from the show of your choosing.

This year's design for us is a beautiful little duper sweet leaf.

But you also get access to ad-free feeds for most of the shows on the network.

including this one.

So if that is something that is important to you, you can get access to that as well by going to MaximumFun.org slash join.

We are pretty well behind pace at this point.

If you're listening to this on release day, we have not even hit the halfway point of where we were hoping to be at during this year's drive.

So we really could use the help now pretty desperately.

So please, MaximumFun.org slash join.
