00:00 All right, real quick before you skip ahead. I just want to remind you that this here is a free first hour version of the show and every interview has a second hour for plus members in what is now one of the longest running and most successful sponsor-free podcasts on this island earth. I think I can say that A plus membership is $8 a month and you get the five ongoing two-hour interviews I do each month as well as access to the full archive going back to the beginning, no seasons or tiers or gimmicks like that. Just hundreds of interviews that have always been free of ad breaks, well edited information rich in depth explorations of all sorts of things with tons of amazing guests lots of timeless classics they get far beyond the stories of the week and the politics of the day
00:47 You know if Plus is for you or not, but I do want to add just a few more bits of information so you have the best experience if you come over. The easy way to get started is use the links right at top of show notes or at thehiresidechats.com and then when you sign up look out for welcome email that includes custom RSS link that can easily be added to any podcast player with simple copy and paste No need to mess with username & password because God knows we've all had more than enough of it But you can still use the credentials to log into the website where you can rate shows, engage in comments or forums with other Plus members and check out the archive based on categories and topics that make it much easier to find stuff you'll like best. A second sign-up option is to get Plus through Patreon. You get all of the same shows but no access to the site and the tradeoff is that Patreon is a Spotify partner
01:40 So that's our little workaround to give you plus on Spotify, if that's your thing. But that's it? It's a pretty simple machine so come on in there's so much more to hear sign up is quick and easy and you're keeping a truly independent platform intact for me to still be doing this the same way after so many years clearly that means the members are pretty happy and you could be too think about it tell a friend and thanks for listening. The planet's puppet masters Almost surely have a plan. There's clearly maybe something there beyond the realm and until we've thoroughly tested every last close-chested view I find the more We think we know, the less we really care Would we be without THC?
