Is it possible to cancel the $5 per month donations via paypal if I can't keep up with it? I'm too young to get an actual job, so I have to earn money in other ways (which come and go). Love Podcastle/Escape Pod/Pseudopod. Thanks!

If you want to cancel a subscription:
1.  Log in  to your PayPal account.
2.  Click History at the top of the page.
3.  Find the subscription in your History.
4.  Click the Details link for the subscription.
5.  Click the Cancel Subscription button.

that's the instructions I get when I get emails telling me I just made an auto payment... however you ACTUALLY need to insert another step between 4 and 5
so...
4.5 click the "in reference to [insert long alphanumeric thing here] link, and at the bottom of THAT page it'll have the cancel subscription button.

[and i modded the title for future questioning souls]

I'd like to hear my options, so I could weigh them, what do you say?
Five pounds?  Six pounds? Seven pounds?

Of course, we don't really condone this type of activity.

We also prefer that listeners don't die of hunger. Hurts the sub numbers when they go to advertisers.

I Twitter. I also occasionally blog on the Escape Pod blog, which if you're here you shouldn't have much trouble finding.

Oh come on,  Do you know how long it takes a person to starve to death?  They can tough it out.

Sheesh, when I say "young" I mean "14". I won't starve to death, but I usually have to earn some money if I want to donate to/buy something.

Hinzelmann,

This was just an example of the mods getting silly for no particular reason.  You'll get used to it.

H- and they're silly often. But we must worship them, least we be cast down amoung the peons unblessed with EA

Oh, great and mighty Alasdair, Orator Maleficent, He of the Silvered Tongue, guide this humble fangirl past jumping up and down and squeeing upon hearing the greatness of Thy voice.
Oh mighty Mur the Magnificent. I am not worthy.
