We love making HYTY episodes and connecting with spoonies around the world.

We’re indie and not sponsored – until our merch comes out Dec/early 2019, we don’t make a profit from the show.

Love and sarcasm can’t hold up everything; we’d appreciate listener donations if you have a few bucks to spare.

Much love,
Emma and Georgia
