Hi friends. If Sleepy Time Mumbles has become a part of your bed time ritual I'd love it if you could help me keep making it, and keep the audio quality up, by buying me a coffee HERE Hint! I won't be spending the money on coffee but rather some acoustic panels. If I make a little extra that will help me offset my hosting costs and keep Sleepy Time Mumbles going and ad-free. You could also buy yourself a cute shirt or mask at our Tee-Public, which also throws us a few bucks and you get a shirt too! Tag us in a picture of it if you do! If you aren't in a position to help financially, wow, do I get that. Help the show out by rating and reviewing wherever you found it but ESPECIALLY if you are on Apple Podcasts. You could follow the show on FB, Twitter or Instagram if you like, but the best endorsement is when you tell a friend about it. It's hard times out there, stay safe and I'll be mumbling again very soon. Cheers, Dan xLINKS ARE HEREInstagram Twitter Facebook Merch Support the show (https://ko-fi.com/noosedoctopus)
