FPL Rules
The league will be closed off on August 9th, 2019, at noon EST (so act quickly if you want to sign up; we’re going to limit entrance to the first 150 individuals).
The entrance fee has two components: A minimum $3/monthly patronage throughout the season on Patreon (patreon.com/eplpod) and a $20 USD buy-in sent via PayPal (to macdonald.mikemacdonald@gmail.com).
Patreon
Support independent media! Many of you are currently or have been Patrons in the past. Thank you! Patreon makes this a painless process. We really appreciate the support. Paying a minimum of $3 per month works out to 38 cents per episode (even less with bonus material). The podcast is 100% listener funded and we’d like to keep it that way for now.
