Before you ask
01MONEY
Where exactly does it go?
Into the five lines above, in that order. Nothing is spent on advertising and nobody here draws a salary from donations.
02BILLING
Can I stop whenever?
Yes, in one click from any receipt e-mail. No notice period, no phone call, no exit survey.
03BILLING
Do I get a receipt?
Immediately by e-mail, from Stichting AVAVA. Dutch donors can use it for tax relief; ask and we send the ANBI statement.
04AIR
Is the stream going behind a paywall?
No. Everything you can hear today stays free, ads-free, for everyone — that is the point of paying for it this way.
05AIR
Can my company sponsor a show?
We take money, not editorial. You can cover a night and be named once; you cannot choose what gets played on it.
06MONEY
What if you go over the goal?
It rolls into the guest budget and the archive. We publish the accounts every January.
