I increased my Patreon donation to Shaenon in celebration of the return of Monster of the Week, which I mention only in case anyone else thinks they want to.

This is also probably as good a time as any to mention that I put together a ‘Monster of the Week’ index, to make it easier to find individual episodes. It’s at http://kontext-away.com/MotW.html .
