Hi, I'm Josh. BIRP.fm has been one person and a lot of listening since 2009. It's free, it has no ads, and I'd like it to stay that way.

Why I'm asking

For a long time the site paid for itself, through ads, then submission platforms, then Vinyl Post, a record club that put my favorite songs from BIRP.fm on playable vinyl postcards and let me do this full time. None of those work any more, so I took a full-time job, and BIRP.fm gets evenings and weekends.

Every month is still a thousand songs heard and cut to a hundred. Supporting the site supports that time. Enough support, and this stops being what's left over at the end of the week and becomes part of it.

If BIRP.fm has found you a song you love, this is the way to send a little of that back. From $3 a month. And if it hasn't yet, keep listening. It's free either way.
