Hello everyone, it's Tom Slater here, editor of SPITE.

This typically brilliant episode of the Brendan O'Neill show

will get underway in just one moment.

But before we do that, I just want to let you all know

about some very exciting new additions to the SPITE website

and that is our newly relaunched and revamped donor community

where people who donate to us monthly

or annually get to access all kinds of exclusive perks,

including a couple of brand new ones that we've just introduced.

So as many of you will know, SPITE is completely free.

All of our articles, our videos, our podcasts,

because we want anyone, anywhere, to be able to read us,

to watch us, to listen to us, to hear our arguments.

But in order to keep SPITE free and fearless and independent

with no paywall in our way or corporate paymasters to answer to

we rely on our generous readers.

People who think the media is a much better place

for SPITE in it to donate regularly to fund our work.

And as a small token of our gratitude,

we have our fabulous online donor community

where you can access all kinds of brilliant benefits,

which as I say, we've got some great new additions to tell you about.
