Never Rarely (once ever few months or less) A little (once a month to once every few months) Frequently (Every two weeks to once a month) Very frequently (Weekly or more) How interested are you in PEL bonus content? (extra stuff beyond our normal episodes) I don't know Not at all Only if it's on a topic I'm really into Pretty interested Very interested Have you ever donated to PEL, or become a PEL Citizen or Patreon supporter? (This does not include buying back catalogue episodes or other products from the store.) No Yes, I am a current PEL Citizen or Patreon supporter I have donated or been a member in the past but am not now If you are a paid subscriber or thinking of becoming one, how important are the following factors in your decision? (1: Not at all to 5: A great deal). 1 2 3 4 5 Supporting the show Back catalogue episodes that I can't otherwise get The availability and frequency of bonus content Getting new episodes ad-free and not broken over two weeks Not School or other membership perks If you are a paid subscriber, how much does the availability of bonus content affect whether you will remain one? N/A Not at all: Just here to support the show. A little: I'm a member primarily to support the show, but I'd miss bonus content if it were gone. A lot: I am less likely to remain a paid subscriber without bonus content. Essential: I definitely would not be a paid subscriber if there were no bonus content. If bonus content matters to you, how much bonus content feels like "enough" for your hard-earned $5/month? N/A A bonus release every few months still makes it worth it I want something at least once a month It's not worth it unless there's something nearly every week Would you probably listen to and enjoy (select all that apply): Follow-ups where some of us continue an episode's discussion Close Readings walking slowly through a difficult, central philosophical text Audiobook versions of philosophy texts Discussions on readings not otherwise covered by PEL A short, recurrent update re. what we're reading, philosophy news, etc. Pilot episodes of potential new PEL podcast network offerings Audio summaries of podcast readings (e.g. our precogs) Did you know about our Amazon affiliate status, i.e. if you click through from our page to Amazon and buy something, then a chunk of your purchase gets passed to us at no cost to you? No, and I don't care. No, but I'll try to make a note to do that sometimes. Yes, but I don't care. Yes, and I've done it to help PEL but don't generally do. Yes, I do this habitually, because I love PEL and am a virtuous person. Is there any chance you'd pay MORE than $5 for a higher level of access to PEL? No Maybe, depending on what was offered Probably Any other feedback? If you do not support us financially, what bonus could we offer that would probably make a difference? If you do support us, is there something that, if we stop doing it, would make you stop support, or is there anything else you wish we provided (or would pay more to get)? If you used to support us, about how long was that for, and why did you stop?
