TAKE THE MAJORITY REPORT TO THE NEXT LEVEL
The Majority Report is where Matt Taibbi, Naomi Klein and Diane Ravitch have turned to make news because they know we are independent, do quality long-form interviews, and have a great listenership of progressives who want to make a difference in the world. That's also why we won 3 Best Podcast Awards and continue to grow in audience.
Our Majority Report community has provided 99% of the funds needed to keep this game-changing journalism moving. You've kept us independent -- and now we need your help to take it to the next level.
Imagine how many hours of live listening you'd save if our phone equipment didn't hang up on Cliff Schecter, Marc Maron, and Janeane Garofalo. Imagine how our videos would blow up on YouTube if we shot in HD and they didn't look like we were broadcasting from Sam's basement (we moved out years ago!). Imagine if Michael and Matt knew how to edit audio- we'd be able to edit out some of Sam's patented stutters and "Uh's"from the podcast!
If we raise, $30,000 -- to buy new video and audio equipment and hire one new producer -- we can take The Majority Report to the next level.
Can you help? If 300 people give $100, we're there. If 600 people give $50, we're there. If the Koch Brothers give us $30,000, we're also there...but that likely won't happen, so we need your help.
The Impact
Podcast listenership has been growing exponentially, meanwhile, more and more cars are rolling off the assembly lines with internet connectivity promoting live internet radio listening. Together with the increase in use of YouTube as a source for news , all of these developments create a unique opportunity for the Majority Report to grow it's audience. With outlets like The Daily Show and MSNBC in flux, a show like The Majority Report becomes an even more important source of progressive views reaching a wide range of audiences. If you can help the show at this moment, you'll see the results for years to come.
Risks & Challenges
We're progressive when it comes to our politics and we’re conservative when it comes to our business plans. Over our past four years of growth we’ve been conscious that your support represents an investment in the work we do continuing and reaching more people. To stay independent we’ve been very careful not to overextend ourselves and we won't with this expansion (unlike the US Government, we can't spend more than we take in because we don't mint our own currency- see our shows about Modern Monetary Theory for more!) But with your support right now, we can grow The Majority Report and reach an even bigger audience.

Perks
We've got some great perks for folks who are willing to spare a few bucks to support media unfettered by a corporate agenda- check them out!
UPDATE
WOW. We're one week in and we've already blown past the half way point to our goal. We can't thank you enough- you have totally knocked us of our feet. That said, we're getting back up and working on some new perks, which we'll roll out in a couple of days! In the meantime, there's been so much demand for THE COMEDY DVD SPECIAL that we're going to make another 75 available! Check it out!
UPDATE 2
Only 10 days to go and we added our last perk. Something you can get nowhere else! From 2008, the Maron Seder hours- a video show where Marc Maron sat in his kitchen in his LA house and Sam Seder in his studio in upstate NY and they talked politics and how depressed they were! You'll love it!
