Patron is great way for you t support the podcast. Over the past two years we have had the chance to hear the behind the scenes scoop from comics who have appeared on Letterman, Fallon and Comedy Central. Comics like Nate Bargatze talked about growing up with a magician for a father. And Stephen Bargatze shared what it is like to have a son who is a comedian.
We got tips from booking agents, record producers, and CD manufacturers. We learned the value of a personality assessment, how to prepare for a showcase set and ways to S.T.R.E.T.C.H. ourselves to create more material.
Labor Of Love
It may go without saying, but the podcast has been a blast. I love the stories from listeners as they get motivated and accomplish more.
A listener recently told me about Patreon and I totally love this concept.
In a nutshell, in exchange for a small RECURRING monthly donation of your choice, you gain access to many extra opportunities to interact with the show. My favorite bonus is our very own, private “School Of Laughs Patreon News Feed”. Think of it as a Facebook page without all the drama. In this feed I will post exclusive articles, bonus podcasts and more. And of course, you will be invited to share ideas and support other listeners of the show!
The funds would help offset the costs associated with time incurred producing the show, and at the same time give you more of what I believe you find valuable. It’s up to you as far as the amount. We average 4 episodes a month and are hoping you feel like the information is worth at least $1.25 a show. So, a monthly pledge of $5 is our hope. More is great, less is still helpful. If we reach the target of 200 patrons (which is just a fraction of the overall listener downloads per episode), I think we would be on track to continue the production of the show and creating opportunities for you to grow as a performer and see definite returns on your support.
In short, I want to continue to provide the podcast and reach out to bigger names, more helpful comics and incredible resources.
