Welcome back to Awakened Exchanges! I’m your host Jay Rich and this episode is going to be a little different. I’ve been using this month to focus on fun things that bring people joy, and I hope these exchanges have brought at least a smile or two to your faces this month. Our first holiday episode was a conspiratorial chat with Nick Hinton, while the second was fantasy sports and gambling with Andrew Wiggins, and then I introduced you to my friend Chris and our shared cannabis passion. As I mentioned last week, I’ve had a couple of cancellations and postponements this month, and I wasn’t really sure that I’d release an episode this week. With that in mind, I decided to release this short Christmas Eve message without a normal interview. I hope that you don’t mind the quick solo episode and that you join us back here for another great interview on New Year’s Eve. Hopefully that’ll get us back on our normal recording and release schedule and I can get a couple of extra episodes in the can so we don’t end up going dark for a week.

Now that that’s all been said, I want to start this week again by thanking everyone who is listening now or who has listened to an episode thus far. This really has been an incredible experience so far, even with some of the roller coaster aspects of starting a new endeavor. I definitely appreciate all of you listeners out there bearing with any of these early bumps and I’ll keep doing my best to bring you new episodes each week. If you have suggestions for topics or guests, please email me from our website or contact me on twitter @AwakenExchanges. I hope to have a full, diverse, and interesting schedule for 2021, so I hope you’re here to join us each and every week. I’m extraordinarily grateful for all of you. 

Since there is no interview this month, please bear with me as I give a brief rundown of our usual sponsors before wrapping up this week. As Always, I want to thank all of you personally for your support. Just listening and sharing this podcast with your friends gives me a reason to keep providing the best content that I can. If you have the means and would like to contribute personally, please take a look at our Patreon page where you will get access to exclusive content and deals for our truly dedicated fans! There are already three bonus videos available as I record this and more are on the way. 

Thank you for listening and we’ll see you back here next week for the last of our great exchanges for this year! Please remember that if you enjoy this podcast, it’ll really help us out if you follow us on Spotify or subscribe to us on YouTube, or wherever else you’re listening. Also, please leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts. I know that every podcast says it, but that’s because it really does spread the word. You can also support us on Patreon, or connect with us on the social media of your choice; we are @AwakenedExchanges on FaceBook, and Instagram, and @AwakenExchanges on Twitter.
