HOW FUNDING WORKS: The difficult truth is that even though listening is free, Spark My Muse costs hundreds of dollars out of my own pocket each month to create, produce, and host online–and takes 25-30 hours of work per week to keep it afloat–which keeps me from making income to pay my own normal bills like electricity and water. The good news is that Listenersgive so kindly (at over 3 times the average!!) to support the show–not just because my particular listeners are high-quality people (they are!), but because of that awesome feeling that happens each time we help out someone else when they need it most. $5 or $10 makes a BIG difference – Thank you for helping too!
