Running a show takes money:  for new material, gear maintenance and upgrades, as well  as streaming, hosting, domain, and software costs. Even electricity and internet incur costs, and it all adds up. Whether it's a couple bucks a month, a fiver when you can afford it, and sharing the show with people you think might enjoy it, everything helps. I'm not looking to make a buck - just enough to stay in the black and keep bringing people interesting stories and music.
If you're a supporter, past or present, thank  you.
I wouldn't be here without you.

TRAP AND WITCH HOUSE

Two genres that you wouldn't think would have similarities, right? Well, it seems they do.
