See that smile there? You help put it on my face every day by letting me know I've got a team behind me. When you sign up for this here subscription, you automatically become a daily part of my life; as the treasure you share goes into all my gas tanks: the car, my home Yonderlust the bus, my belly, my brain, my heart, dare I even bring up the soul?

Right now, I'm letting all digital content be value for value; all content for all people. Meaning you, the listener, determine what value you get out of this stuff and send that to me. No first part free, but pay for the second. No commercials. No distractions from social media land. No platform using my content without an equitable exchange in return. This way everyone can show up where they are at and participate at the level however big or small they want. You can show up with your time just listening and "liking" which means a lot. You can show up with your talent of spotting authenticity and share my stuff with a friend, or maybe you provide goods or services that I may need to help with this wild crazy fly by the seat of your pants journey. Or maybe you've got a little extra monetary abundance and you want to help me have a little more financial stability. However you want to be and can be a part of Team MB, I'm here for it and I thank you for being here.

That being said, Bandcamp makes me set a price for the reoccurring monthly subscription (which is safe and secure in the Stripe network) and so I set it at $5 which is less than a quarter a day. If every month you cleaned your car floorboards, couch cushions, or checked your pockets before dropping your pants in the washing machine, I figured just about anyone could spare an extra 5 bucks a month. And for those who can't, that's why it's free content and I WANT you to have it. I basically am you. For those of you that can spare it, don't feel like the $5 is a ceiling, you can always set it to be more if that works with your heart and wallet. Good news is, you can cancel at any time with no hard feelings or strings attached. Be here to whatever degree you can be here for whatever amount of time works for you.

That means that right now your subscription doesn't get you more content, but it does get you a seat at the table of my heart and links you to others who also support me; like a fun little club or a rag tag bowling team. The subscription will however come with first dibs on merch and you'll be the first to get announcements. I'll also give you a shout out each month (unless you want to remain in the background with no need for recognition, if so reach out and let me know). I will create different tiers if people express interest in that and need to be incentivized with exclusive content in order to feel it's worth their contribution (so if you're one of those folks, make sure to send word saying so, so I know there is a need and a better way for us to engage and exchange; I'm here to help you help me, so whatever you need...within reason and ethics). For those that would rather pay an upfront annual type thing skipping the monthly processing fees and seeing my name on your statement each month, you can always just send that over any time and in several ways (venmo@mary-stringer-2 or paypal@marybrett86 or here at Bandcamp. I'm going to use this as a way to hopefully have a little consistency and predictability to my monthly finances; which allows me to continue to produce this content (be it my songs or interviews with others).

This is where you will be able to hear the podcast based on my weekly radio show for 100.1 KMXT Kodiak, Alaska. While the radio show is every Wednesday 12:30-1pm Alaska time, it is only technically 28 minutes, while the conversations last near an hour most times. That means, here with the podcast, you get the full deal instead of the watered down FCC friendly abridged version AND you get it at a time that is convenient to you.

Here is where you will also hear MY MUSIC as I'm ready now to release more of this stuff, so as to make room to make more; for myself and for you.

I'm Mary Brett. Thank you for being here!
