PRODUCT REVIEWS, FEATURES, AND MENTIONS:

We regularly feature and review products and services we like or find interesting on this podcast/website. Many of the items we feature are ones we discover on our own, but others are sent to us by developers or companies specifically for review consideration. Before contacting us about reviewing your product or service, you should be aware of how we operate:

1. Feel free to contact us on any of our social media platforms, but do not add us to any mailing lists without our permission.

2. We do not guarantee anything, including whether we will review or mention your product, much less in a specific timeframe. We do not guarantee our review will be positive. We do not offer previews of my reviews and, unless we've made a factual error, we do not change reviews.

Pursuant to 16 CFR Part 255, the Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, please note: 

(1) Companies, manufacturers, and distributors may send us free versions of their products to review. We may keep and continue to use these products after posting our review, which might be considered a form of compensation for our review, but we do not believe that we let that influence our review.

(2) When we post links to product pages on Amazon, those links may include a referral code so that when products are purchased after clicking on the link, we sometimes receive a very small percentage of the sale. While the amount we receive is small, it does help to defray some of the cost of running this podcast and site, and gives us a small vested interest in having you purchase products using these links. We do not believe that we let that influence our suggestions of various products, and we are very grateful for your support.
