Hello, it's Tom here.

Before we get into the show, I have a very exciting announcement for you all.

This week we launched Spiked Supporters, our online hub for regular donors complete with exclusive perks.

So from now on, those who give five pounds or

more a month or 50 pounds or more a year will be able to comment on articles, get

free and discounted tickets to events.

You'll get a discount on all the items in our shop as well

and you'll be able to bookmark articles

as you browse in your very own Spiked supporters account.

To kick things off, we also have an extra special offer. supporters can

claim a free ticket while stocks last to our upcoming Zoom event on the 15th of June

where Brendan O'Neill will be in conversation with the great Rod Liddle, surely one not to be missed.

This is all our small way of saying thank you, really, to all of you who fund our work.

You are absolute heroes, because Spikes is completely free and yet you still

hand over your hard-earned cash to make sure anyone anywhere can read us and we're

hugely grateful to you all for that. So regular donors who already give

five pounds or more each month or 50 pounds or more a year. You're already

eligible to join Spite supporters. You should have got an email from us about this

but if you haven't just get in contact at the

email address supporters at spiked hyphen online dot com and we'll get you set up

with an account and if you don't give to spike yet, now is surely the perfect time.

It's really easy to do. Just go to spiked-online.com slash supporters,
