Hopefully you had a chance to catch last weeks show, soon I am working on putting together a yearly fund drive in order to keep this show alive each week on the net.
Don't worry, not about to charge listeners to access the shows anytime soon, but keeping it on the "air" does require a monthly fee which I have been paying for up until now, but as of now am no longer able to keep this thing going and before it gets to that point where the plug would have to be pulled, I will, during the coming months, be working on getting a few artists to come through for a special "fundraising" edition of the show.
In addition to supporting a great show, and the artists showcased each week, those who donate (even a minimum of 0.25) receive premiums for your donation such as, posters, key chains and best of all, exclusive new music and/or a hard copy of the shows compilation which came out in Sept. last year featuring a whole cast of emcees and songs that reflect the music often heard on the show....it is still available as a free download (for now) at the link provided above.
This show is ENTIRELY listener sponsored and I will pull the plug on it before deciding to run ads or commercials, let's keep this thing alive and moving by simply donating even a small quarter or fifty cents since literally, pennies are all I will be asking for during this time, especially since these are challenging economic times for many, even the smallest donations count.
ALL proceeds go directly to the expenses below:
*$120 yearly fee for podcasting services
*Archive space needed (for past and current) shows in iTunes
*Turntable needles and repair
*Mixer components
*Reciever hardware
*Recording software
*Generating premiums & packages to those who donate
*Keeping ads and commercials out of the picture, entirely
Remember, in addition there will be some really cool rewards and packages being offered for your donations!
Exact date for this fund drive is still TBA as is the details on how to donate (most likely PayPal)
but what I CAN say is that it will be a very special, very important show when the day comes and I will try and line up some relevant guests to come on the show and help me out for this one.
Remember, in addition there will be some really cool rewards for your small donation.
I'll have an all new show up this Sunday evening and until then, continue to enjoy what is, and always will be, the free podcasts and pleeeeease,,tell a friend, hip hop IS alive and well in 2011 :)
Peace
-Tim
