Actually this episode is mostly Mrs. Whitlow. She deigned to be the Portal’s first special guest. This was made possible by Ponder Stibbon’s discovery of a method for sending individuals from the Disc to the Roundworld—at least as far as the Portal’s recording studio. I asked Mrs. Whitlow to join me since a lot of the show this week was by necessity housekeeping information about season 5.  To summarize: There is now a fifth Patreon tier available—that of the $20 per month subscriber. I’ve adjusted the benefits for each tier to reflect this. I also did this to make it possible for me to do four (longish) episodes per month, instead of seven shorter ones.  Each weekly episode will be presented in two parts. Part 1 will be published as usual, and will be available to anyone. Part 2, the extended version of the episode, will only be available to Patreon subscribers, and to non-subscribers who are interested in shelling out $5 for it. (Please note that the "extended episode" will not necessarily be on the same topic as the regular episode.)  The benefits will now work as follows: $1 Patron—chance of receiving one extended episode per month. $5 Patron—one extended episode per month $10 Patron—two extended episodes per month $15 Patron—three extended episodes per month $20 Patron—four extended episodes per month   Extended episodes, and the back catalog of bonus episodes, will be available for purchase by non-Patreon subscribers for $5 each. A list of previous bonus episodes may be found on the website at https://mindkindle.net/back-catalog-of-bonus-episodes/, or on the Discord server.  The clacks special episode will henceforth be available to all first-time emailers. All this will streamline the production process, and allow me to reduce the number of shows I have to do a month. If you have any questions about all of this send them to me at randy@mindkindle.net. As always, this show is dedicated to the memory of Sir Terry Pratchett—il miglior fabbro. The Turtle Moves
