Daily sponsorships are full

The daily "on air" sponsorships that begin each episode are full until the end of the year! That is great news and many thanks to the many sponsors who have supported the podcast. You can still help! The $25/day sponsorships do not get all the bills paid. If your pockets are a bit deeper, you can get your name added to the after-episode on-air thank you's that are on every episode. These sponsorships are $300 per month. Remember, every dollar we collect goes to paying the production expenses of the podcast. We have benefited from thousands of hours volunteerism and thousands of dollars of services, all of it so you can listen to this podcast. Email info@365DaysOfAstronomy.org if you want to help out.
