Hi, it's Fraser here. If you're a regular listener to this podcast or a regular reader of Spiked,

I hope you'll agree that Spiked's message is more necessary than ever. Spiked content is free and it always will be. It's thanks to your donations and regular

donations in particular that we've been able to keep going and growing.

By donating to Spiked you're helping us challenge the myriad attacks on free speech and the

illiberalism of identity politics.

The Spiked podcast has now grown to a point where we're able to get sponsorship.

What that means for you is that there's another way you can support the show

by checking out some of the deals we're able to pass your way.

But donations are still by far the best and most direct way to support us.

So if you think we're doing something right, saying what needs to be said,

challenging what needs to be challenged, then do please consider starting a regular

donation if you haven't already.

Even £5 per month can go a long way.

If you'd like to make a donation you can do that by going to spikes hyphen online.com

online.com and hitting the red donate button in the top right corner. That's Spikes

hyphen online dot com and the red donate button in the top right corner. Now on with
