Night Vale has a few different ways that we pay our actors and writers and dispersion

for original music and sound editing and Joella who runs all the business stuff you never

see and many more people who help make this show.

We have ads, obviously, and those help a lot.

We have our live shows, which honestly margins are pretty tight on, but our backbone, the

thing that we can rely on and that means we can plan out this show with the knowledge

that we're going to be able to keep making it is our Patreon.

Members of our Patreon get fun bonuses.

Every episode comes with a behind-the-scenes essay written by that episode's writer.

We do bonus episodes that are only on Patreon, like Steve Karlsberg's visit to the

whispering woods or Deb the sentient patch of Hases True Crime podcast.

Sometimes when I'm stuck in the middle of writing and I feel episode, I will make a post

and you will get to influence the writing of the podcast that has happened in the past.

You can get exclusive shirts, personalized recordings from Cecil, and even be inserted into an

episode as a citizen of Night Vale.

But the most important thing is that you allow this show to keep happening.

If there is no Patreon, there is no Night Vale, as simple as that.

So if you love this show, please consider signing up at whatever level works for you.

Any amount of money helps us pay everyone and make this show for you.

We are very grateful to get to do that.

As a little welcome bonus, we do Zoom Patreon Hangouts with higher level patrons every

month, but this month we will be doing it with all of our patrons.
