This is the first and last time I will bring up this subject.

The Game's the Thing is not an expensive endeavor in the grand scheme of things. It is also not free. Aside from an equipment and software outlay of just under $200, I have an annual operating cost of about $120.

Since the equipment is already bought and the operating costs are installment-based ($5 here, $12 there, etc.), I'm not trying to say there's a hardship here. I would, however, like to spend some money I don't have improving the quality of the show.

You may have noticed the conspicuous absence of new The Game's the Thing podcasts. Well, more "stuff" has happened to prevent Kainan and I from bringing shows to our small but dedicated audience. This seems to be clearing up, though, so look forward to new shows soon.
