Please Support the TPN Pledge Drive

Dear 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 myself and the TPN hosts have donated their time.

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 listed here at the TPN Pledge Drive page.

Your support is appreciated!

cheers,
Cameron

    Cam – I’d like to make a donation (a small one unfortunately) but would prefer to make a one-time donation rather than do the subscription…..I can’t find a button to do this. Help?

  2. Cameron says:

    Thanks Mark! The first button on this page – http://tpn.thepodcastnetwork.com/pledge/ – is a once-off donation and you can set the amount to whatever you like. Thanks for the support!

  3. Mark says:

    Thanks Cam, all set…(sheesh – did I completely miss that button before??)

    Cameron, I’m presently unemployed so money is tight, but if you can use my creative side, I’d be happy to do some toons or design stuff to help promote the podcast network for FREE. Let me know if it’s useful to you.

    You seem to have stopped all the comments happening 🙂 LOL. (Good reverse psychology).

    Have a look at http://www.bobseal.com to see if anything I do looks like it might be useful.

    THE NIGHT JAMES BROWN SAVED BOSTON
    Friday 26 December at 8.30pm. SBS Television Australia.

    April 5 1968, the morning after one of the most catastrophic moments in American history; the assassination of Martin Luther King, America’s inner cities had begun to implode.

    In Boston there was a fragile peace, a ticking time bomb that could go off at any moment. A concerned Mayor of Boston decides to cancel a long-scheduled James Brown concert to avoid confrontation, but after warnings he has a change of heart.

    The Night James Brown Saved Boston tells the story of that amazing night using rarely seen footage of the Godfather of Soul’s concert plus personal reminiscences from those in attendance.

    I’m glad to see you have some ads on your sight,when you’re in a global market, you have to do what it takes to get your product out there.It’s a tight pocket book these days and who knows where we’re headed. I don’t know about aussie land, but here in the U.S. it’s a morass of
    shit and who knows where we’ll end up! But Cameron I’ve appreciated the advaita show so much that if I don’t contribute something I feel like a real shit!! It’s a little like PBS in the U.S. you have to beg though you don’t want to, but you have a great product and want people to have access to it. So to all the people that have enjoyed the advaita show give Cameron what ever you can, something is better than complacency and Dog knows there’s enough of that in the world!!!

    Hi Cameron,

    I still have a question, that I did send as email as well:
    If I buy over amazon.de (meaning german orders) over TPN do you get a fee for that if I go over your TPN site?

    merry christmas and a happy new year to all of you

    Hi Tan, yeah sorry you didn’t get my reply. If you click through from our site to Amazon.de I imagine we could, but I’m not 100% sure. Give it a go and I’ll let you know! Thanks for the support! 🙂

    Hi cameron,
    I have clicked through TPN to amazon.com and then from there to amazon.de and ordered a book for 12.90 €.
    let me know if this worked for TPN.
    Cheers
    Tan
