This show does cost money to produce, and while our listeners have been extremely generous in supporting us through the Kickstarter campaign that got us to Beijing and also through Patreon patronage, we\\u2019re coming up on 2 \\xbd years until another Olympics, so to celebrate the Lunar New Year, we\\u2019re asking for donations of at least $8 -- in China the number 8 is a lucky number symbolizing good fortune --\\xa0 to help us get through to Paris 2024. Go to flamealivepod.com/support to donate.

Thank you so much for listening, and until next time, keep the flame alive!
