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
SPONSOR a SHOW! (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=treksf%40gmail%2ecom&item_name=Treks%20in%20Sci%2dFi%20Podcast%20%245%20Sponsor%20Donation&amount=5%2e00&no_shipping=1&return=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2etreksinscifi%2ecom%2fforum%2findex%2ephp&cancel_return=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2etreksinscifi%2ecom%2fforum%2findex%2ephp&tax=0¤cy_code=USD&lc=US&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF&charset=UTF%2d8)
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. ;)
Wow! I totally missed this. Consider yourself sponsored sir.
Thanks man!
Hmmm I posted in this thread but it disappeared... count me in...
Thanks to those that donated so far. I very much appreciate it!

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.
Sent my $5, all helps.
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.
Count me in!
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! ;)
Just sent mine Rico. Anything I can do to help.
You are very much appreciated.
Metron
Thanks very much!
Will set up a monthly donate as soon as my house buying deals are done.
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.
Thanks - and again to the recent donators. You guys rock!
Done and Done.. :)
Ok, i've signed up to $5 a month for the next 65 yeears so you had better keep going Rico ;)

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.

Well as Will Riker would say....
"I don't know about you, but I'm planning to live forever." ;)
Trying to revive this idea bit. If anyone cares to donate, I'll plug whatever you want on the podcast!

How much to sponsor a show and how many mentions do I get! I bid $25!
"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."
:)
I love it!
Bryan - you can even bribe me to disown JJ! ;)
