Hi, this is EbodyNX from the Candid Frame, and I'm sending you this special message in between episodes to solicit your help.

We're in the process of delivering a dedicated Candid Frame app for both the iOS and Android operating system.

With the help of Lipson, which is the company that I use to distribute the show to you,

we're going to have an app that will allow you to download

the show directly to your phone or tablet. So not only will you have access to the most recent

episode, but you'll also be able to download every episode the show has produced. We've had a previous

version of this for the Apple products, but this revised version will be available for both

operating systems.

The reason why this is so important is that people are increasingly discovering and

listening to podcasts directly from their phones and tablets rather than their computer.

So having an independent presence on these devices is really important for the growth

of the show.

Now we could offer this app for $2.99 or even $1.99,

but I'd like to make it available to all listeners for free.

To do that, I would need to pay Lipson an additional $10 a month

above what I already pay them for storage and bandwidth.

So while I'd love to do it, I'm also trying to keep the cost of producing

the show down. I've already invested $100 to pay for the artwork that will be seen on the app,

but I'm asking that you help me pay for the cost of providing the app for free. The way you

can help is by donating just $10. This will help cover the additional cost of providing the app for free for the next two years,

by which time I'm hoping that the show will be paying for itself.

If you and 23 other listeners do this, we will be able to offer a free pathway to the great
