$10 per month

Secure recurring Stripe checkout. Cancel any time by emailing Mike. This support is not represented as tax-deductible.
What it supports
The work behind the page, stage, book, and story.
Maroa Stories
The interviews, memory work, photographs, and writing behind the Saturday stories.
Books and comedy
New manuscripts, stage material, live testing, and the work required to turn an idea into something durable.
Independent production
The website, images, recording, publishing, and distribution that keep the work directly connected to its audience.
What support does not buy
No influence. No private truth. No second website.
Supporters do not choose topics, approve conclusions, control jokes, or buy access to private material. The work remains Mike's and the public work remains available through Pope Studios.
“The point is to keep making work that sounds like a person—not a sponsor, committee, platform, or institution.”
— Mike Pope
