I figure since I have your email address, you at least know my history and views so who better to turn to? In the words of Lennon and McCartney: Help me if you can, I'm feeling down And I do appreciate you being 'round Help me get my feet back on the ground Won't you please, please help me? A podcast is a leap for me. My nephew recommended that I do one a few years ago and I barely knew what he was talking about. Since then, things have changed for me and podcasting. Without going into details, family health issues have left me seeking a way to be supportive, generate badly needed income, and simultaneously stay politically productive. Meanwhile, podcasting has become incredibly popular, technically manageable, able to generate income, and politically relevant. RevolutionZ starts with one audio episode a week. With sufficient help, I will add a second and third each week, and also video. In the first episode each week I will address something topical, cultural, or activist, and quickly move the discussion from analysis to vision and strategy. In the second, a guest will discuss his or her areas of expertise. In the third, I and the week’s guest will address supporter-submitted questions and comments. Generating useful content is seriously daunting, but as in most media endeavors, the biggest hurdle will be creating sufficient early momentum to justify first visitors following and supporting the podcast. I hope you will give me a leg up on that hardest hurdle. Will you click one or more of the links below, listen to some of the material, and even send me some advice on improving RevolutionZ? Will you use the links to follow the podcast? Will you pledge a monthly donation by becoming a patron via the website Patreon <https://www.patreon.com/revolutionZ>? While gearing up to do RevolutionZ, I am also seeking to sell the house I am writing this letter from to garner revenues for the health needs mentioned above. To do the podcast is of course a political project, but this time it also seeks income to help address serious personal needs. In short, I can’t do RevolutionZ without a reasonable living situation, time, peace of mind, and resources for costs, all of which now require “a little help from my friends.” So I am asking you to please consider making a monthly pledge by becoming a patron and following RevolutionZ, I would profoundly appreciate it. Flip a coin. Heads you become a Patron, Tails you don’t. RevolutionZ is fully funded! I am stable. Don’t bother with the coin, just become a Patron. RevolutionZ has funds to grow and diversify, I am comfortable. That’s the situation. Please do let me know at [email protected] your reactions to the idea of RevolutionZ and I thank you in advance for any support you can provide.
