The big Phones Show weekly
giveaway
The show (video and audio podcasts) is
produced on a shoestring budget and needs your help! If you're
enjoying it both the shows then please
consider helping out by joining what I call my monthly
'virtual
pint
of beer' club - i.e. if you met me in the street, would
you at least buy me a beer to say "thank you"? (3 pounds a month
was roughly the price of a pint here in the UK a year or two
ago).
Mind you, please donate because you think the
work I/we put in is worth it. And not because of the giveaways,
which are simply a way of doling out ex-review hardware to a
good home! Winners are people drawn at random on The Phones Show
Chat podcast every week...
I have a choice of accessories (listed below)
to give away to a lucky monthly
'virtual pint of beer' donator or an ad-hoc donator
(auto-added in from donations in the previous month - in other
words, you don't have to sign up to a recurring 'monthly'
donation in order to be in the draw), chosen at random every
week until further notice on the Phones Show Chat.
The winner, each week, will be notified by
email and can choose anything from the list below, posted free
worldwide:
