Great show! Could you please consider changing the Patreon.com label to $100/yr? Please change the insulting Patreon membership labels—they are used for inspiration. Immortals and Keeper of the Commas are nice. Your colleagues, such as Matt Abrahams from Think Fast Talk Smart, the podcast, charge around $69/yr.

I’ve been listening for over a decade and it’s never repetitive because grammar is complicated. But Mignon distills the info fabulously! I also appreciate the shortness of it. Sometimes I need a quick word nerd fix and this is perfect!
The new interview series is great for longer listens…even if it does put more books on my ever-growing to read list!
