Support the show. Get closer to the work.
Pain In The Arts is completely self-funded and made around our actual working lives -between gigging, writing, studio work and the everyday realities of running a household.
If these weekly conversations bring value to your own creative life, here are a few ways you can join us behind the scenes and help keep the show moving forward.
The Green Room
Every episode in your feed every Monday morning, a full 24 hours before the public release. Plus Backstage Banter (outtakes and off-mic moments), the Post-Show Backstory behind each week’s topic, and a welcome shout-out on the show.
The easiest way in, for people who want more of the show.
The Studio
Everything above, plus our monthly written update on where the novel and soundtrack stand, Open Workbench snapshots from our actual work in progress, and ongoing acknowledgement on the podcast.
For listeners who want to be inside the room as work is being done.
The Record Room
This tier is currently in its founding phase. As a founding member, you get access to everything above plus both of our audio journals (In Search of Home and Echoes of Home), early listens to finished soundtrack pieces, and your name permanently in the audiobook credits.
There are two free ways to stay connected to Pain In The Arts – no credit card, no pressure.
The Foyer
Our free Patreon community tier. Breallyn’s Creative Noticeboard lives here – a space for the kind of creative conversation the show often starts but doesn’t always finish!
The Newsletter
A monthly email from us. No algorithm, no noise – just what we’ve been making, reading, noticing, and thinking about. Sign up below and it comes straight to your inbox.
