GET $50 REWARDPoland needs good publicity. POLcast features amazing stories from Poland and around the world
Please, donate and help develop POLcast.
Why POLcast?
POLcast, the award-winning, first ever English language podcast about Poland and Poles:
- Featured well over 200 stories promoting exciting things Poles around the world do and surprising connections of the world with Poland
- Received four journalistic awards from: Canada (2), Poland and Austria
- Reached listeners in 112 countries.
Through POLcast people learn fascinating things about Poland, its culture, customs, geography, history, language, as well as about amazing Poles around the world.
No politics!
Please donate to support
POLcast's continued growth!
Unfortunately, what is free for you to listen to is not free for us to make. The reality is - we need your financial support.
Thanks to your help we’ll be able to continue producing high quality content, buy the necessary equipment, pay for servers, etc. and keep finding these amazing people connected to Poland and show you their great work. We need to earn our living and every minute we spend working somewhere else to pay our bills is a minute taken away from producing and growing our POLcast.
You can help us go on with your monthly pledge! Just like PBS or TVO.
Imagine that you take one of us out for a coffee once a month, or for lunch, or maybe for a drink (dinner?)… Just once a month. Instead, please, declare this amount to help us grow POLcast.
Thank you for your support…..
POLcast is created and hosted by Małgorzata (Margaret) P. Bonikowska and Tomek Kniat, both associated with GAZETA, the leading Polish language newspaper in Canada (www.gazetagazeta.com)
PLEASE NOTE: all amounts in USD
Cover our costs
A lot of money has been invested into equipment, servers, publicity, promotion materials, etc. A year at this level would help us recover the investment and break even (not counting our work and time).
Keep POLcast going!
Everything that we receive from you goes back into making POLcast. We get equipment to improve the quality of the show. Help us keep POLcast sounding its very best, and our site strong! Our costs are covered and the show goes on.
Make POLcast even better!
You just hired one of us to do this full-time! Now POLcast has a small team working on the podcast: 1 person working full time and a few others working part time.
This will improve the show in every way, but specifically we'll increase our output. This will require much more time and work. This extra time and resources will help us make our POLcast even better.
Keep POLcast growing!
We will hire a roster of freelance journalist collaborators.
