Hello! Just checking if this is 3-4 eastern, or 4-5 eastern? The email that went out originally had it as 4-5, but this post says 3-4, and it's a few minutes after 3 now and no one is in the zoom. Sorry for the confusion, just trying to make sure I didn't calendar wrong!

Also wondering what time (and time zone) the call will be. I think I heard once that the Guardians of Autistica will be listed somewhere, too? Where is that?

Hi! Sami here, Content Manager for The Autistic Culture Podcast. The call is scheduled for 3–4 PM EST. Apologies for any confusion, and we look forward to seeing you there! 😊 To become a Guardian of Autistica, you would simply need to update your subscription tier via Substack - let me know if you need any assistance with this!

Thanks Sami! Yes, I am one actually, but am wondering where on the site the list of Guardians will be posted. I am pretty sure they said it would be, in one of the casts.

Hi Sami, I am not sure I have the right place and not sure how else to find out... It's past 3 EST on the 17th, I've clicked the zoom link above, but it says waiting for the host to start the meeting... I don't know where to look for notices about people running late or anything like that.

Yeah, I'm in the zoom too, and I think it may be 4-5? The email they sent out in November listed it as "Dec. 17, 2024 - 4pm ET / 9pm UK" and I think there may just have been a clerical error with the post/pic?

Hm, maybe. I am a new member so didn't get that email, and the one that went out a couple days ago didn't have a time. And the photo on the top of this thread says 3 but also says November last year.

Edit - well, a new email just arrived that says today's date and 3 PM EST. Huh.

Yeah, I just got that one too (mine shows as having arrived at 3:09, and it says it starts at 3, and it's 3:13 now and my zoom still says waiting for host. So I'm thinking either technical difficulties, or maybe it's really at 4...
