00:00:07.400in spirit of the winter solstice and holiday season we hope you are taking great care of
00:00:12.760yourself as we near the end of this calendar year and want to thank you for joining us this past
00:00:17.760year we also want to share some updates about what you can expect from the podcast and our
00:00:22.660patreon in 2023 it's incredible to think that we released our first episode in september of 2014
00:00:29.700In the eight years that have followed, the For the Wild team and I have been so blessed to create and curate our weekly episodes as offerings to the times in which we live.
00:00:38.920We're so proud of the body of work that we have created and are blown away by the ways in which our conversations have contributed to organizations, movements, and bodies of work far beyond ourselves.
00:00:51.760It truly does feel like the mycorrhizal network of our wildest dreams.
00:00:56.300We remain in deep gratitude to our guests who have simultaneously comforted and stretched us, as well as to you, our listeners, for accompanying us on this journey.
00:01:07.440In an effort to continue this work and support our small but mighty team of four, we are dedicating 2023 to Enhancing for the Wild's offerings through boosting our Patreon and podcast sponsors.
00:01:19.520Beginning in January, all episodes released to the public via our website, digital streaming services, and radio syndicates will be standard episodes under an hour, ranging from 50 to 59 minutes.
00:01:31.840When we have an edited episode that exceeds an hour in length, that will be available on our Patreon.
00:01:37.440Additionally, we will be organizing a series of live hangouts between previous guests, friends of the podcast, and myself.
00:01:44.480These live hangouts will only be available to our Patreon supporters,
00:01:48.380and recordings will be provided on Patreon in case you miss them.
00:01:52.080We are so excited to announce that our first hangout will be with Sophie Strand in late January.
00:01:58.300For the Wild is also creating a series of digital zines that will be released throughout 2023 via our Patreon as well.
00:02:05.200So to recap, For the Wild will continue to release weekly episodes,
00:02:09.500but if you want to delve deeper into our work, join us as we catch up with guests and tune in
