Financial status of the Podcast

STATUS OF DONATIONS AND A NEED

March 16th, 2013

I know I seem to come to my listeners often asking for financial backing.  I wanted to make you aware of a need and how MormonDiscussion has spent the money.  First I have received about $522.00 from Listeners.... How awesome is that... you guys are so great.

I have purchased a laptop which has allowed to me work on the podcast and publish shows and edit them from work.  This has been a blessing.  The last two episdes including the Montgomery interview were done by laptop as I was away from home.  I paid for about a third of it the podcast donations paid the rest

I recently purchased a higher quality Mic and POP filter which you should hear in the next episode.  It was also used in the beginning of the Anthon Episode.  This was paid for by our Sponsor COSTA RICA TRAVELPASS (costaricatravelpass.com).... they get a big thumbs up!!!

I have also purchased a couple of books on ebay that instructed how to use Audacity and running a podcast...

I want you to know every dollar goes towards the podcast and your support is so appreciated by me.

Now for a need

I have been asked by FAIR (FAIRLDS.ORG)to join a panel discussion in Utah to share the point of view of those in Crisis and my personal view.  Unfortunately this is above and beyond what I can do.   If anyone who listens to the podcast sees worth in this and would want to support this trip.  Please email me at reelmormon@gmail.com.  I DO NOT want a paypal donation because if I can not raise the total amount I need I do not want you to have donated a partial amount if I can get the rest of it.  I am hopeful the panel discussion would be an episode if I am able to be there.

the conference will take place on August 1 & 2 at the Utah Valley Convention Center in Provo.  It appears the costs would be in the neighborhood of $900.00

Airfare - round trip $600.00 if I am reading computer screen right

I also would need a place to stay.

rental Car - or transportation to and from conference.

I am hopeful $900.00 would cover all I need.

If not no biggie but if anyone has the desire to do part or all of this let me know by email
