Podcasting is hard work. Each episode takes me about 2- 2.5 working days to prepare and record. So if I want to keep the podcast ad-free and keep my marriage going, I need to make this economically viable. And that is where you fine people come in. If you feel the urge to support this endeavour, are in need for some heartfelt gratitude or just want to have some great extra HotG stuff, choose a membership level that suits your wallet:
Become a Reichsritter/Edelfrau

A Reichsritter (Imperial Knight) protects the poor, defends the church and serves the emperor freely and truly. He does not expect anything in return, apart from honour and respect. Nor does an Edelfrau (Dame) debase herself to barter for goods in return for her generosity.
Only an exchange of gifts is suitable for such august personalities, so please graciously receive our Heartfelt Gratitude and accept the invitation to our HotGPod Community site
Arise as a Reichsfürst/Reichsfürstin

As Peer of the Realm your great privilege is a seat in the Reichstag where you can deliberate the affairs of the day and advise on future policy. The peers of the ream included not just counts and dukes, but also bishops and mighty abbesses.
Your podcaster most humbly offers his Sincere and Heartfelt Gratitude and with your permission will have your first name and initial read out at the start of an episode and would be utterly delighted were you to accept the invitation to our HotGPod Community
Take your crown as Kurfürst/Kurfürstin

The noblest of rights of a Prince Elector is to choose. The History of the Germans Podcasts offers you the opportunity here to choose to be even more generous than Imperial Knights/Dames and Peers of the Realm.
The Empire being impecunious ever since your ancestors have broken central power during the Investiture Conflict, there is sadly not much in added benefit that can be offered apart from Eternal, Sincere and Heartfelt Gratitude, your first name and initial read out at the start of an episode and an invitation to our HotGPod Community site. We hope you recognise your good fortune and give according to your might.
