Hello, Johnny Long here. Clearly you are somewhat enjoying this podcast, otherwise you wouldn't be listening.

The simple proposition is if you like something and want it to stick around, please consider

paying for it. And the only reason this all exists is because people are paying for it,

but we need all of you. We know you're out there, listen to this for free, and that's fine because we're good honest people, and we're

not scraping your data to find out where you live, and knocking on your door with a bucket,

demanding your chuck a tenor in. Instead, we're supposed to give you value propositions,

or to tug on your heartstrings to make you sign up, like we're those poorly animals from the daytime TV adverts. I'm going to make my

pitch simpler. Pay for the things you enjoy, otherwise there's the risk they disappear. Media is a

tough business and while we've made a great start, they're still a long way to go. Consider what

these podcasts and the rest of our media is worth to you, and hopefully that amount is above zero,

ideally. So, if you regularly listen to these podcasts and are not yet a member,

please strongly consider signing up so that we can continue making these podcasts

and all the other articles and media you enjoy.
