Back in the day, whenever I'd see a donate link or button, I'd just skip over it or perhaps think to myself "look at THAT sell out" or various alternatives to that phrase. It wasn't until I started creating content, especially the VORW shortwave broadcast and when I began to use my own funds to run this channel, when I realized the true importance of funding, donations and income.
I'm not going to force you to donate by any means, and I don't want to plaster this everywhere either but I do want to take a moment just to say where any funds will be going to. Of course, this channel isn't really all that expensive to run, but it still does require a budget. The majority of your donations will go toward returning the VORW show back to shortwave, and then keeping it on the air. Funding will also go to the simple cost of maintaining the channel, and being able to purchase items to review, it will also be used to take requests for reviews, to review new items as soon as they're released, to upload more frequently, and to possibly bring back shows like The Idle Mind.
Thank you for your interest and any feedback about Patreon is appreciated!!
TLDR: If you choose to donate to TROTW your funds will help get VORW back on Shortwave, let me take requests, upload more frequently, review newer items, possibly bring back the Idle Mind.

If you don't have a radio I think it will still by syndicated on TuneIn every Thursday at 6 PM Eastern and Friday at 5 PM Eastern at this link https://tunein.com/radio/WRMI-9955-s50329/ again I apologize for this all, if there was any other way I wouldn't do this and I've been trying to keep it going for as long as possible.
I had the same problem, you can listen via Steema though, isn't just on TuneIn http://streema.com/radios/play/Radio_Miami_International_WRMI?player=videojs&utm_expid=.mKFrGloNQCCbE3FkkqTRWw.1&utm_referrer=
I wouldn't suggest using money as a tool of influence over individualized channel content. This could be a very slippery slope and the decision should always be left up to the creator, not dictated by a contributor. A good alternative might be Patreon, which is becoming steadily more popular. It is a site that helps fans give ongoing support to artists, youtubers ... etc. https://www.patreon.com/. Whatever he decides to do, I would definitely donate to help support the channel.
