The News Team: a community & show about headlines and stories that matter.

We believe that The News should be smart, brave, funny, and engaging.

So do you.

TheNews.fm is an independent podcast about news, media, politics, and technology.

Your invitation: Join The News Team! All Patreon contributors gain access to our private community forum TheNews.Slack.com. Community members help shape the show by sharing links and contributing thoughtful conversation about interesting stories (learn more about Slack).

Together we can take The News to the next level.

This goal will help us:

• Upgrade our recording gear - stuff like better microphones and headphones.
• Cover set-up costs - basic expenses like our domain and audio hosting fees.
• Produce a monthly Q&A talkback call with Patreon contributors.

Let's grow The News community together.

This goal will help us:

• Hire a community manager to help us manage the http://thenews.slack.com community.

We will provide a live high-quality stream of The News each week.

This goal will help us:

• Afford the server and maintenance costs of producing a live show.
• Pay a producer to support live production, invite fresh guests, and grow the show.
• Purchase a license to use music and songs in episodes and during the live pre-show.

Bonus: Our next goal level will be unlocked once we reach the Go Live! level. Thanks for supporting The News!
