Surviving Babel: We have returned from our mid-season break, which was somewhat longer than we intended. Apologies to both our listeners and the guest of this episode, Anatoly Karlin. The following podcast was recorded on March 28th. It is, however, as relevant today as it was then.

One of the reasons for the extended break was the time commitment required to release an episode that I am willing to stand behind. I am producer, host, and editor of the show. The average episode requires 20-25 hours, much of it repetitive work. In order to defray some of the monetary and opportunity cost, I am conducting my very first sponsorship drive. If you are interested in sponsoring Ascending the Tower, e-mail me at Surviving Babel at gmail dot com. Sponsorships start at $10 an episode, and all proceeds will either go back into the podcast or provide some compensation for your most grateful host. You can purchase a mention or short message, or you can choose to sponsor the Out of Left Field question or even an entire episode.
