We've launched our Patreon page so we could have a place for listener support. While we'll always be a non-profit show with no advertisements or official sponsors, we do need some help to keep it going. We are accepting support in the form of small monetary amounts ($1-$5) from our audience. Alternatively, you can treat yourself to podcast merch. Our store offers hoodies, shirts, hats, and more. The proceeds we gain from Patreon and our merch sales are put towards ongoing website fees, funding for new content, and equipment upgrades.
