BECOME A MEMBER
You like discovering great unsigned bands from the pre-streaming age? You enjoy a well-told story? You agree that musicians should be paid fairly for their art? Awesome — we’re glad to have you onboard!
​
There are two things you can do to support our mission and optimize your Shoulda Beens experience. They’re both really easy:
One. Become a “Member” of the Shoulda Beens listener support community. It only costs $2.99 a month ($3.99 if you sign up for the deluxe, “Absolutely Everything” package), and it really helps us keep the lights on while we work our tails off finding great lost artists from the late 20th century. We’re proud of our musicians-first revenue sharing plan, but frankly, it’s going to make money tight for us in these early days. Having fans chip in a couple of bucks every month will be a BIG help. ​
​
What’s in it for you? Puh-lenty! Members at the $2.99/mo. "Almost Everything" level get:
-
18% discount on all music and merch
-
Access to past episodes (this will mean more as we post new content)
-
“Member-first” episode previews
-
Member-exclusive music and merch
-
Extra episode content (you don’t know how much fun stuff gets left on the editing room floor!)
-
The knowledge that you’re making a huge, positive difference for us!
​
Members at the $3.99/mo. "Absolutely Everything" level get all that PLUS:
-
Advance notice of upcoming music and merch sales
-
"Backstage passes" for live chats with Rick and Fritz
-
Access to online surveys that help us make editorial decisions about the show

The second-best way to support our mission is to "follow” the Shoulda Beens podcast on your podcast player of choice. You can always find the latest episodes on our website, but listening on a podcast app (like Apple Podcast, Spotify, Podchaser, and many others) is a lot simpler. Telling your app that you want to follow our podcast basically instructs it to download the latest Shoulda Beens episode to your phone, laptop, or other device, as soon as it’s released. Having locally saved episodes allows you to listen to us offline, at your convenience. That’s what’s in it for you. What’s in it for us? Well, as much as we hate being slaves of the almighty algorithm, having lots of followers significantly bumps us up in search rankings, which is an inescapable reality of running an online business. So please take a moment to follow Shoulda Beens — and thanks!
