$1/moClear Conscience TierThis is the tip-jar. If you have a nagging sense of guilt at all the great stuff you're hearing for free -- or if you're Canadian like us and just feel guilty anyway -- here's an easy way to alleviate it.

$3/moReader's TierGet access to Phil and JF's unpublished new writing, which includes correspondence, new essays, and thoughts about what we're reading/watching/listening to right now. This tier also makes available Phil's music podcasts, including his ongoing series on Richard Wagner's operatic tetralogy Der Ring des Nibelungen.

$6/moListener's TierEverything in the Reader's Tier plus audio extras: recorded conversations we left on the cutting-room floor, special subscriber-only episodes, and more.

$9/moAll the Product You Have Coming TierYou get all the writing and bonus episodes from the $3 and $6 tiers, plus live chats with JF and Phil. Twice a month (once at a time friendly to listeners in the Americas, another at a time that works better for European listeners) we will hold 75-minute (-ish) chats about ... whatever you want to talk about. It's like office hours, but fun.
