No More Inserted Ads — I Was Wrong.

hey everyone, I've had a lot of time to lay around plagued with a recent sickness, and realized that the move to use outside ads (as few as they may be) on the main Relax With Animal Facts show was a mistake. I thought that I had thought this through sufficiently, but I genuinely hate the decision I made, and have laid awake at night thinking about it. I will dig into my own pockets a little bit if necessary to have an editor—I can't go about doing it this way. I love the show and its audience too much, it's been too long to compromise. Relax With Animal Facts will remain pure, without any outside insertion, forever.  I ask that you forgive my ill-made decisions. -stef

A quick talk about the ads that are on the show, covering important aspects like why, the future of the show, etc. This is in response to a few of you reaching out and letting me know your concerns. Most importantly, I will attempt to only have ads in the beginning, instead of at the end, so as to avoid any wake-ups. Please listen, and let me know your thoughts. Thanks for your patience with me!

Beloved Listeners — I Need Help Making a Decision

We have gotten the opportunity to join a wonderful podcast network! This would mean more episodes a week, as I could do podcasting full time. We could continue to grow as a podcast family, and even support some causes together. The only thing is, ads (through the network) would be what help us do that. By joining the network, there would have to be ads that run on the show (I am not not exactly sure in which slots). There will be an option to pay a dollar a month to get ad free new episodes on Spotify specifically, and ad free episodes will also be available on Patreon (which can be linked to Spotify). This is a surreal opportunity, but I want your feedback. Please let me know what you think.

The Show Needs Your Help

The show has been almost entirely ad-free up until this point, but as it continues to grow, I have to purchase commercial licenses for all of the sounds/ambiences the show uses. A gentleman who travels to the most remote locations on the planet has agreed to help the show in a much reduced price tag ($500) for a range of different ambiences.To help in the crowdfunding, you can click here or here: paypal.me/relaxwithanimalfactsAfter around a week or so this announcement will be removed and I will cover whatever cost is left. Any amount helps—seriously. I am so excited to go into this next stage of the podcast with all of you! Get Bonus Content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
