The Broad-Cast hasn't added a story.
Hi! I'm Natasha, the host and creator of The Broad-Cast podcast and website.
I'm here today asking for your help in getting The Broad-Cast self-hosted so that a variety of embeds and plug-ins are available to use.
You see, Wordpress.com doesn't allow javascripts or embedded players for podcasts, and those are some very important elements in achieving the goals I have set for The Broad-Cast. The podcast is a major part of the initiative to spread the word about women's issues, and Wordpress.com only allows me to link to an outside site where people can play it, instead of allowing me to upload the MP3 file directly or embed the player from Libsyn (the podcast host).
In addition, javascript is necessary to embed lists of bills being brought to vote in different states (or even at the federal level) so that readers can easily navigate and contact their representatives. This embeddable code is a feature of the website BillTrack50.com, which aims to make legislature easier for the average person, and I believe that is a crucial step in getting so-called "keyboard warriors" involved in the political system in a real way.
Transitioning to Wordpress.org from Wordpress.com is not expensive.
As you can see, I'm only asking for $300 and that will cover hosting and storage and domains for the whole year of 2016. I simply don't have $300 to spare, being newly unemployed, but this is so important to me that I decided to ask for help. Without the freedom to use the code I need, my hands are tied in many ways.
Thank you so much for checking this out, and for considering supporting The Broad-Cast.
