Thank You for Your Support

If you are enjoying the podcast, please consider a small donation to help us with maintenance costs.

I have set a modest goal for donations; to raise $250 which covers the cost of the mic I bought and some of the online hosting costs. However more than 2 years after launching the podcast I have only raised about half that amount. With your support I hope to get there in the coming weeks as we get to our end.
