I am a lurker extraordinaire, and also terrible at keeping up with my podcasts, but I wanted to let you guys know--I just finished listening to the metacast about 5 minutes ago, and then set up a $2 subscription. I wish it could be more, but I hope even that much will help. Goodness knows that your work is worth a great deal more than that. I've been enjoying the podcasts for years (mostly Podcastle and Pseudopod), in large part because the pods have been free. There were times when I couldn't even have contributed the small amount I have today, and your stories lifted me out of the grind, reliable little doses of escapism that I could always look forward to. Now that I have a little more, I'm pleased to give back. (I only regret that I didn't do so sooner.) Thank you.
