Mm-hmm. This is the Book Ribe Podcast, I am Jeff O'Neill.
And I'm Rebecca Shinsky.
Rebecca I went viral.
You did! With a little help from our friend Emily Wilson and Odysseus.
I was merely the I was merely Hermes, the messenger. Right. Uh we're gonna get into into the story here in a little bit. Um points of order here. If you are interested in becoming a Patreon member or are a current Patreon member, especially at the monthly level, we're running a Coming up on a fifteen year anniversary of Book Ride and we're sort of doing some promos around that. But right now you can get twenty five percent off an annual Patreon membership. How long are we doing this for, Rebecca? I don't know. It says limited time, but it's a
limited time.
A limited time. Okay. So at least as long as this show will be out for a little while. But you'll be able to get over there. You can, you know, most recently over there is the fantasy drafts. We have some other stuff coming in the fall. We're gonna do we're voting on some book clubs and uh we're gonna be doing that in our normal sort of Patreon stuff. So if you're monthly to monthly, you know what? I've been here a while. I might as well go up to annual and get a little coupon off it. That's great. Or maybe you're coming right from the dark. The the the Patreon member who came in from the cold. You're coming in from nothing and you want a little something. I guess Rebecca too, we don't really we don't like we don't come with hat in hand, that's not how we think about this, but we're an independent media company in the world in which we live, which is dominated by tech conglomerates.
And one of the reasons companies like ours can exist if they do exist, and frankly in our space there's not many like ours, if any, right. Is because part of what we do, we do sell advertising and affiliate and all that, but we have people that support us directly. And And we get to do more and we get to keep doing it. Um and we thank you so much for all of you who have supported us over time. And I should say that just listening is supporting, of course. Absolutely. Absolutely. But there's also other things you can do. Rebecca, and this is one of those things. It is, yeah. It is, yeah.
You know, fifteen years, we talk about it a lot, uh, you know, off mic, that running an independent media company in this i in this particular fifteen years that we've lived in with changes in the media landscape, changes in technology, like that book riot has been able to exist for fifteen years is a small miracle.
