But do note that\u00a0<strong>we only have five days to raise the money<\/strong>, since nobody likes prolonged Kickstarting.<\/p>\n<p>Before the<strong> drive ends <\/strong><b>on Saturday at 10:00 a.m. Pacific time,\u00a0<\/b>I&#8217;ll put up a <strong>special preview episode\u00a0<\/strong>featuring a new interview with a favorite Seattle-based guest from whom, if you&#8217;ve followed my interviewing career for a long time indeed, you&#8217;ve heard a couple provocative and funny hours of conversation before.
