To the loyal, cherished, and wonderful fans of the show,
I have a very brief and simple appeal to make. In an attempt to slim down Ye Olde Budget as much as possible, I realize that the cost of hosting British History 101 – $9.95 per month – is a personal budget item that could perhaps be lifted through the kind generosity of just a small portion of British History 101's listenership. Therefore, I humbly request that, if you are so inclined, listeners contribute just $1 US to the show, via PayPal to BritishHistory101@gmail.com. If we do some quick calculations, one finds that a $1 donation from 120 listeners yields enough to maintain the show's hosting cost for an entire year; contributions above that amount, or more people giving $1, keep the show in business longer, and would perhaps even allow me to upgrade my microphone.
HOWEVER – if it should come to pass that this is not a viable choice at this point in time for listeners, fear not! The show will, indeed, still be hosted; I have borne the hosting cost until this point, and I can continue to do so into the future if totally necessary. With that in mind, though, it would be a great help to me to have this particular budgetary burden lifted. Also, should we end up with a substantial amount of money, I will dedicate a portion of it to the show's continued success and donate the balance to a worthy cause, such as the British Museum or the Imperial War Museum.
The listeners of British History 101 are some of the greatest people I have ever been privileged to know, and appreciate any sort of assistance that can be offered. If nothing else, though, just continuing to download the show is a generous display of support and I am incredibly grateful for the continued presence of all the wonderful people out there that join me in discussing history.
Warmest regards,
Michael Anthony

Hey I just stumbled upon your podcast and I decided to try it out. I’ve listened to thirty of your podcasts in three days. I really enjoy your podcasts they are GREAT. Thank You for taking time out of your week to educate your listeners. Keep up your extraordinary podcasts.
I’d love to donate 10 dollars but I don’t want to create a paypal account and it’s forcing me to do so. Is there a way to do a contribution via paypal without a paypal account?
Thank you,
jeremy
Unfortunately, there isn’t that option at the moment. However, once I establish a PO box down here in the southern part of the state, I can make that address public.
Thanks!
