Hey, everybody. While we do consider More Than One Lesson to be a true labor of love, the occasional cost does crop up. Comic-Con hotel rooms, publicity materials, and, of course, movie ticket prices. In an effort to cover these costs, we’re asking for donations from those that can spare a few dollars. If everybody that listened to the show donated just $5, we would have all of our costs covered (including episode storage and bandwidth).

So, if you’re a fan of the show and website, please help us out. Thanks.
