This episode's image is via Wikipedia since they're pretty chill about image-sharing as long as I credit them, and I don't have time to go creating a new image-permission request every day--I've got stuff to talk about. Also, yes, I, a degreed librarian, consult Wikipedia during my research as they are generally a solid aggregator of resources. You have my permission to consult Wikipedia as well, just remember they are not a source in their own right or else citogenesis may occur (P.S. Randall Munroe is a treasure: https://xkcd.com/978/).

THANKS AND SUCH:

Thank you for listening, and thank my family and friends for putting up with the massive time and energy investment and for helping me out when they can.
