Wanna help me pay for stuff?

It is, alas, not free to make and keep this available for you. Up-front costs included recording equipment, music, and a domain name, and Web hosting is a monthly expense. None of it is huge, but if you can help, I would be grateful.

If I find all my costs are covered and your generous donations continue to come in, I will donate the surplus. For now, I’ve selected the following charities, inspired by the early part of Les Misérables:

Partners in Health

Homeboy Industries

Polaris

I will keep this page updated as time goes on, each time I make a donation or a select a new charity to add to the list.
