Hey, this is Heather from the Renaissance English History podcast, and this is the spring fundraising drive.

Many of you probably listen to National Public Radio in the U.S. If you do, you know that every spring

month, for example, which I can't really see happening, but just in case, it lets you put a limit on

that so you're not charged for more than you know two a month it lets you

choose tears to support from as little as a dollar an episode um from three dollars an episode

you get a free tutor planner uh there's some great rewards so let me tell you about the

rewards actually so if you support at a dollar an episode that's about two dollars a month

you will get the show a day early,

earlier than it goes out on the normal feed. You also get a public thank you on the podcast.

If you support the show at $3 an episode, which is $6 a month, you will get, in addition to getting
