Support the TPN Pledge Drive
November 13th, 2008Dear TPN listeners, viewers and friends,
You know that we spend a LOT of time producing our shows for you.
And as we aren’t making money out of advertising, we’d like to ask for your support to help us keep TPN running. We have real costs in IT support, hardware, bandwidth, etc., as well as our time and effort. For the last four years, we’ve covered these costs ourselves. Outside a small amount of advertising that we have run, the majority of TPN’s costs have been covered by our founder Cameron Reilly and the TPN hosts.
Now, we know that paying for online content is probably new to some of you. You are used to getting it for free.
However, we do ask you to think about the idea of the people funding their own media. We all know that if corporate advertising is the main source of funding for the media, it influences the kinds of media that is produced and the messages they carry. We don’t want that kind of media to be the only kind out there. We want an independent media, run by the people and for the people.
If you want to support our efforts to bring you intelligent and entertaining content, please consider one of our donation plans below:
We have five ways to support a TPN podcast:
- A once-off donation
- $2 per month subscription
- $10 per month subscription
- $20 per month subscription
- $50 per month subscription
If you’re not familiar with Paypal, don’t worry – you can use any regular credit card.
What you’re signing up for is to automatically send us $2 every month. It will automatically come out of your Paypal account or credit card. That’s $24 a year which is a lot less than you pay for 60 minutes of music on a CD or a monthly Netflix subscription.
When you are entering your information, please enter the name of the podcast you are supporting and please feel free to support every TPN podcast you listen to on a regular basis by donating multiple times.
This subscription system is totally voluntary. If you don’t want to pay or cannot afford to pay, don’t worry – you will still get access to our podcasts for free for as long as we can keep affording to produce them for you.
A once-off donation to the value of your choice (please enter the name of the podcast you are supporting):
