A little bit more about membership.....

Writer's picture: radioleggyradioleggy

Hello folks!

Last month I told you that I had launched a monthly/yearly membership option through buy me a coffee .com but I feel like I have to elaborate a little more on this. The original post is HERE: https://radioleggy.wixsite.com/mysite/post/membership

In addition to that initial post I'd like to add a few things.....


Firstly, no-one is expected or obligated to subscribe to a membership (or even buy me a coffee). This is a tool for those of you who WANT to support me, to be able to do so. In my original post, which I've linked to above, I explained that I lost all my source of income during this covid pandemic and that I don't get paid for my radio or live streaming work. What I failed to mention, is that it actually COSTS me money to do. When I was at TD1 radio.... which was a voluntary position, we were told to record from home as we weren't allowed in the studio to broadcast. I had NO equipment at all..... NOTHING! All of the other presenters had been doing radio for a while, or are DJs with their own equipment.... I was new, still learning and had never been on a mic before they offered me my own show! So.... this meant I had to go and BUY equipment. I have never been loaned, supplied with or gifted any equipment at any point. I had to buy everything from a mic, mixer, cans, acoustic foam to deaden the sound (I live in a flat), leads/cables.... everything, even a desk to put it all on! A couple of weeks ago my all in one pc which I was using to record went kaput, which meant having to order a new desktop for the job and some speakers/monitors.

Obviously I have chosen to do this, sometimes to do wonder why.... but yes, it's my choice. I've chosen to continue to produce mixtape and these things are neccessary to do so and whilst I know I won't ever recoup that money back (nor would I expect to), it would be nice that if you enjoy my content and are entertained.... whether it be the radio show, or the live streaming..... it would be nice if you valued that. Even if it is just to buy me a coffee. Like I say, no-one is obligated. We pay for every other form of entertainment, whether through a license fee or netflix (other services are available) subscription.


Now.... as well as thoroughly entertaining content, you also get other perks by taking a membership... including exclusive content, discounted Merch, a monthly group zoom call and a follow back on social media. AAAAAANNNND as if that wasn't enough, the first 15 annual subscribers will get a signed poster A3 poster from my 2017 fringe show with an almost life sized photo of my ugly mug on it! I mean..... what more could you want? All for £70 a year, that's £5.83 a month (less than the cost of 2 coffees), just saying! ;)

If this appeals to you.... you can subscribe at buymeacoffee.com/leggylady01 and click on "Membership" then choose either "monthly" or "yearly" option.... or you could just buy me a coffee. If not, no worries..... please do continue to tune in and enjoy "Helen's Mixtape" on Thursday 8-10pm on vault-radio.com or continue to catch me around on Periscope :)
