 You can listen to the Theremin 30 podcast for free, of course. But it isn't free to produce. There are monthly and annual fees for URL registration and software licenses and for purchasing legal downloads of some of the music featured in the show.

Rick Reid, the host and producer of Theremin 30, spends countless hours reaching out to theremin recording artists, booking interview guests, and writing, recording, and editing each new episode. He also maintains the website, updates the calendar of events, and manages the Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube pages. And the professional recording equipment Rick uses doesn't come cheap. He has invested nearly a thousand dollars in digital recording equipment and microphones specifically for this podcast. So far, Theremin 30 has only generated enough income from advertising and donations to cover a portion of its expenses. So, this show has been a time-consuming and money-losing project from the beginning. 

Rick's short-term goal is to break even. His long-term goal is to make Theremin 30 a thriving micro-business that will at least financially justify Rick's long hours to keep the show going. If the show ever becomes profitable, Rick intends to create a way to share some revenue with the recording artists who allow him to play their music.

Here are some ways you can support Theremin 30 and help keep it going:

• Send a one-time gift to Rick via Paypal. Even $5 would make an impact.
  
  
• Become a monthly supporter via Anchor.fm. Some listeners have been giving $4.99 a month, but even $0.99 a month would be greatly appreciated. Think of it as a subscription fee for the content you enjoy.
  
  
• Buy Theremin 30 logo apparel and gift items from the Merch Store. A portion of each sale supports the podcast, and you get cool stuff that will help promote the show.
  
  
• Buy theremin accessories from the Pro Shop. A portion of each sale supports the podcast, and you get great audio gear at competitive prices from a trusted online retailer.
  
  
• Shop with the affiliate programs and advertisers that appear in the banners at the top and bottom of every web page.
  
  
• Become a sponsor. Promote your album, concert, product, or workshop. Advertising on the Theremin 30 website or in the actual show is an effective way to reach theremin enthusiasts across the USA and around the world.
