Support the archive

The Echo Archives is meant to stay free, ad-free, and made for listeners. If the archive helps you find something good to listen to, optional listener support helps us add to it without sponsor pressure or paid placement.

Support options

The public support options are Patreon and Ko-fi. They are optional third-party services; if you use them, your payment and account data is handled under their own terms and privacy policies. The archive does not import or publish supporter names, counts, avatars, or donor tiers on this site.

No placeholder social proof. No paid placement. No sponsor influence on ratings or collection order.

What support pays for

Support helps pay for the archive’s day-to-day work.

  • Hosting, uptime, databases, and day-to-day maintenance
  • Metadata cleanup, corrections, and official link verification
  • Catalog growth, submission review, and new show intake
  • Full reviews, curated collections, and archive notes that improve discovery
  • Long-term upkeep for ratings, search, and archive tools

Supported by listeners

The archive answers to listeners, not advertisers. Support helps keep recommendations independent, free of paid placement, and useful over time.
