Donating to Kneel Before Pod

Kneel Before Pod will always be free. We will never charge per download or a subscription fee to listen to our show. That goes against what we feel makes podcasting great. We also think that alienates people and forces them to put a price tag on something that is just meant to bring them joy. So while there might be merchandise and other things in the future, you can always be sure we will never charge you to listen to Kneel Before Pod.

We here at Kneel Before Pod are always striving to make the highest quality of show. As we grow and become better, sometimes there are costs related to that. When we first started the show, we seriously just recorded on a desktop computer with a Rockband USB microphone between us. We have come a long way since then and we feel the quality of our show reflects that. Currently, our production costs are low, but we are still looking to make improvements. Be it headsets, mixing boards, microphones, domain registration, website hosting or portable recording devices, we currently pay for all of this out of pocket.

We're not complaining about this and we're proud of these facts. We do this because we want to, not because we have to. That being said, we're not too proud to accept a little help. If you're a listener and would like to see the show grow, feel free to donate. This is in no way required or even requested. We're just giving the option in case there is someone out there silly enough to want to donate money to help us fund this little experiment into stupidity.

Currently, there is no rewards system or anything in place for donating. At a future date, we may add things such as merchandise, special supporter consideration and maybe even live events as a thank you for donations. Any donation in the meantime will be taken into consideration if these thing ever come to pass.

So if you have $5.00 and really don't want to get a foot long sub at Subway, feel free to click on the paypal link below. Thank you for your support even if you don't donate. We love you all and look forward to giving you the best show possible.
