Title: Sponsor a Show!
Post by: Rico on June 16, 2008, 08:28:19 AM

I am going to start a little sponsor program for the podcast.  For a small $5 donation you can sponsor a particular episode of the Treks in Sci-Fi Podcast.  I will announce these at the start of each show.  You can just have your name mentioned, plug something you want plugged, give a "shout out", send a birthday wish - whatever you want.  I think this will be both fun and help offset some of the increased costs for hosting, etc.

This will be done via Paypal only.  There is a link on the top of the forum and below.  So let's have some fun with it!   :biggrin

Just a little bump for this.  If anyone feels like sponsoring the special "interview" show this coming weekend.  I think it's going to be a good one.   ;)

Same thing happened to me earlier in the week, Kenny.  Strange.

Sent my donation.  $5 is nothing compared to the enjoyment I get from the podcast each week.

billybob had a good suggestion to setup a button for a monthly donation of a couple of dollars.  I will do that very soon for those interested.  Thanks again for the support gang.

There are now options for monthly recurring donations in the Paypal Donations box in the left column here.  Also, if you go to the main web page, there is a similar type of box in the right column near the bottom.  That one is a little more flexible and you can set a few different options.  So hopefully all of this will give people some options.

And thanks once again for helping to support the podcast and web site!  :)

Little bump for this.  Just as a FYI....  The renewal with my web host comes up in a couple of weeks.  So if you have a spare $5 burning a hole in your pocket - feel free to donate!  ;)

I just sent mine as well, Rico. You have created such a great community...in addition to a great podcast! That's worth so much more than $5.00.

Good that should pay for when apple comes out with the iPod holo and Rico needs to buy a holo imager for the new Treks in Sci Fi Holo cast. I estimate this will occur in 47 years.

"Treks in Sci Fi, brought to you by Bryan."

"Now let's talk about sci fi on tv, thanks to Bryan."

"And now, Bryan presents this week's episode"

"And now, I'll play a voicemail, sponsored by Bryan"

"This week's collectible, from Byran's personal collection."
