Recurring Support

This page is mostly unused since Regular Subscriptions allow you to set your support level. They can be ordered on this page.

But this page does still work, especially if you just want to specify benefits for your support: see the checkboxes below.

You set the payment level, and how long each payment term lasts. The minimum amount each term is $2, since less than that results in more fees than benefit.

This supports the This is True newsletter, ad-free web site, ad-free podcast, and more — its very mission. And, meanwhile, get some great benefits in return:

Minimum Pledge for…

  • Simple Ongoing Support: $2 each term that you choose, since less than that results in too many fees. Even a few dollars per quarter really helps keep the newsletter, podcast, and web site going.
