Sum-up

• Empires Podcast the Ottomans officially breaks for the holidays from December 22 through January 1, 2024 (I forgot to announce this in the Podcast)

Changes for 2024

• Main narration will be cut back to 2 times a month.

• The "in between" weeks will see premium content for Patreon only listeners, you will get a 5 or ten minutes teaser for the bonus content.
• I'll be posting a "wish-list" from Amazon of books on the Ottoman Empire. If you purchase something for me I'll make sure you get premium content for a year (since it's more expensive than Patreon).
• Right now the show qualifies for Spotify ad program. HOWEVER I HATE ads. I'll assess the Patreon membership by July of 2024 and cross the ad bridge when I get there.

Thanks for sticking with me for 2023. I've got a whole lot of content planned out for 2024 and am very excited!
