Support

The Yellow Light appreciates any help you can provide for the project, chiefly for the essays and the public podcast at this time.

First, subscribe to The Yellow Light. This site will make a post for every new essay or public podcast episode. Because this site uses Ghost software, anyone who subscribes get a message in the email inbox whenever The Yellow Light posts a new essay or podcast episode.

Patreon

You can also become a supporter on Patreon and receive benefits when they go live in the spring and summer of 2025. The basic tier will open the audio part of the chat room on Discord and access to the private podcast, The Yellow Light Club. At higher levels, patrons participate in discussions recorded live in an audio chat room for a special episode of the private podcast every month.

Please remember that Ghost subscriptions and Patreon do not talk to each other. Nobody can add up Ghost subscriptions and lower Patreon tiers to unlock higher tiers.

Direct Support

In addition to an article and a podcast episode every week, The Yellow Light aims to do deeper research and interviews. If you would like The Yellow Light to continue and to create more content, then you can help through the most direct contributions with a premium subscription. Additionally, anyone can make a one-off donation.

These options incur no sales tax or VAT because they are pure support. They maximize your contribution with minimal processing fees. If you would like the benefits (such as the private podcast and participation in episodes), you may want to consider pledging on Patreon.

As a general reminder, a card that uses the American Express network has a 15-digit card number and uses the 4-digit code on the front as the security/CVC value to confirm. In contrast, most cards have a 16-digit card number, and you use the 3-digit security/CVC value to confirm.
