BetterPears CSA

Have you ever pondered the choice before Achilles, son of Peleus, while still in Phthia? Would he lead a settled life in his homeland, be esteemed by his kinsman, and remembered for a few generations after his death or instead set off for Troy to win acclaim and honor, τιμή, that we still speak of today, although he would never return from the voyage.

Now think of that $500 sitting in your bank account. In the last year, it lost over 7% of its purchasing power in the United States. It may serve you well for a nice restaurant dinner, a peck or two of organic pears, or a trip to the shooting range, but soon, perhaps after a few weeks, it will be forgotten. Alternatively, that same $500 worth of currency electrons on some bank balance sheet can support the efforts of BetterPears, assist the endangered Fugikastani people, and immortalize the honor you give to another human being through a custom dedication to be read before an upcoming episode of The BetterPears Podcast and heard by a world-wide audience (or at least a significant number of people standing on the world).

What is the BetterPears CSA?

– An innovative way to contribute to The BetterPears Podcast
– A chance to honor and express gratitude toward another person through a live-read dedication during an upcoming podcast episode, archived for posterity or as long as this internet fad lasts and the hosting bills get paid.
– A limited-time opportunity. There are a finite number of episodes of The BetterPears Podcast in each Series/Season.

That sounds great, but how does it work?

– Click on the “Click Now” buttons on this page
– You will be taken to a secure payment page, fully encrypted and secure to keep your currency electrons safe in transit to BetterPears.
– After you payment is complete, you will receive a confirmation email at the address you enter in the payment process. The confirmation email will include instructions on selecting your upcoming episode preference and how to submit your 272-words or less dedication to be read “on-air”. Dedications are subject to redaction by BetterPears.
