VALUE FOR VALUE

Thank you to the executive producers of Bowl After Bowl Episode 114: SircussMedia, NetNed and SeeDubs and also to nodebit for setting up our chat and allowing bowlers to hop in the Bowl with us and to SirBemrose for putting us on the No Agenda Stream!

Bowl After Bowl operates on the value-for-value model, meaning it runs on YOUR support! There are no advertisers or corporate overlords, allowing us to practice our First Amendment right to free speech without compromise or complication. Think of it as an indefinitely extended free trial. Every Tuesday at 9 PM Central, Bowl After Bowl goes live on the No Agenda Stream and the Bowl stream. We interact with folks in the chat and publish the episode for all the other bowlers to enjoy at their leisure. There's no paywall or fee, just hours of free entertainment. So all we ask is that you give back the value you get out of it.

Email jingles, ISOs, art, magic number sightings, and news stories to laurien@bowlafterbowl.com. If you have crypto questions or information, send that to spencer@bowlafterbowl.com. Of course for the artistically challenged out there, we'll gladly take your crypto and fun fiat coupons over on the Donate Page. We love boostagrams.

And for everyone else, interact with us! You can leave a voicemail, shoot a text, or send pics to (816) 607-3663 all week long, any time, day or night and besides that, consider passing the Bowl to a friend who might enjoy it.
