Value for Value
Support Multiplex.FM, Multiplex.Life and ReadMultiplex.com. Give what it’s worth to you.
The Work
I’ve been doing this work independently for decades. Today it lives across Multiplex: the articles and research on ReadMultiplex.com, the email list, the Multiplex.Life podcast and Multiplex.FM. As I wrote on day one, Multiplex is an experiment, an experiment that will be ongoing. The free work stays free, with no paywall. It’s reader- and listener-supported: you give what it’s worth to you.
How Value for Value Works
I’m borrowing the model the No Agenda Podcast made famous. You decide what this broadcast is worth to you and send that value back. When you give, you become a Producer, and I’ll thank you by name on the air. Leave a note and I may read it. Odd amounts are a tradition: $33.33, $69.69, $101.01, $333.33. Lightning boosts are welcome too.
» Tonight’s Radio Night is executive produced by Queen NAME. Thank you!
Why It Matters
This broadcast runs on the people who watch it. Your value keeps the films rolling, the ticker updating and the radio dramas playing all night. Producers own a piece of the show. That’s the deal.

Company Underwriting · Separate from Donor Credits
Businesses can underwrite the broadcast the way they do on public radio: “This broadcast is brought to you by…” Underwriting is kept apart from donor credits. Producer credits and titles are reserved for viewers.
The rules are simple. Sponsors are always clearly identified. Underwriting is a credit, not a paid endorsement, and it never buys content, opinions or coverage. Editorial control stays with me. I may decline any sponsor.
Underwriting packages and prices are on the Advertise page. DM @BrianRoemmele on X, for packages & dates.
Thank you for keeping the lights on and the signal strong. — Brian
