SUPPORTING ESCAPE ARTISTS FOUNDATION
EA is a donation-supported US nonprofit with a mission to bring free and accessible audio fiction to a global audience. It's an amazing achievement, and we can't do it without you!
Without donor support none of the creatives involved in our episodes get paid and our servers go dark. We treat every crew member and creative who entrust us with their work professionally—that means paying them.
To do it we need your help! For all our millions of annual streams and downloads, only a very small percentage of our audience are donors, a number that hasn't significantly changed since our founding in 2005. Those generous souls make all the difference.
We offer our supporters access to exclusive benefits like our Discord server or early access episodes. Supporters can also access ad-free episodes, Premium Content goodies, and more regardless of donation platform. Increase the impact of your support with corporate matching programs like Benevity, or support our annual year end campaigns!

In November, we (PodCastle) ran a month of Palestinian stories, and honestly I think it is the single best month of stories we've ever run, and you should listen to it on those grounds alone. But I also spent a lot of time on those outros, and meant to write more about them at the time, but: busy.
