I listen to a lot of podcasts, if they have a sponsor I try to support those sponsors and on a more rare occasion I'll give the show some cash. But here is one thing I have noticed thus far, I have never gotten a thank you. Not once. I have sent money to various shows over the last two years so it's no one specific that I am targeting in this statement. I am not expecting a grand ornate response but even a mass bulk, "you donated to my show and thanks for the support" wouldn't be much to ask for? I bring beer to Wingin It and I get a "Thomas thanks for the beer" on the air, but if I sent a show $20 you might think they could send out a quick note of thanks. As an example I bring beer to Wingin It and I get a "Thomas thanks for the beer" on the air which is perfect. If I take the time out of my day to send a show some money the same should apply.

I know people are busy, but if I think a show is worth sending my hard earned cash to a simple thanks will go a long way towards getting a future donation. Just a thought.

After thought - My comments aren't directed at any one show. I think I could have phrased the last sentence of the first paragraph better, but I'll let it stand.

After After thought - I don't like the way I phrased things so I'll change it, but leave the originial striked out.
