Listed here are some of the charities and organizations we support, and we hope you will support them too. They are listed here because we believe in what they do, and in the services they provide.

We have NO direct relationship (other than by our donations to them) with any of these organizations. We DO NOT receive any consideration, financial or otherwise, for providing these links. They're here because we believe they need your support.

As with any website link, when you click and follow these links, you are going to their site, NOT OURS. You are viewing their content, NOT OURS.

Also, as with any website, make sure to look for the "secure" symbol to the left of the site address in the address bar. This signifies a SECURE site. When you see it, you can click on it to tell you what it means. You should see one on our site. Click on it now. Go ahead, we'll wait... See, it's a secure site.

If you don't see the secure symbol, move on.

NEVER put any credit card info in ANY site that does not have this symbol. (Sorry, but not enough folks understand this, and it's kind of a 'thing' for us).

Anyway, please consider following some or all of these links and contributing whatever you can. We APEZpreciate it.

Lastly, we could not have created this podcast without using Audacity and VoiceMeeter. If you know a podcaster, odds are they use one or both as well.

Audacity is freeware, and was donation driven until acquired by MuseGroup in 2021. So, no donations, but big shoutouts to MuseGroup for keeping it FREE.

VoiceMeeter is donationware, meaning fully functional to download and use for free, but when you know it works, and it's what you want to use, you are supposed to donate. That keeps it updated, and hopefully keeps it free. The donations and licensing model is explained on the linked page.
