We are the hosts of the Salty Nerd Podcast.  You may know us as:  Alex (The Salty Nerd), Vader (MattVader74), Jude JuJu (The Ambassador of Estrogen), and Matthew Kadish (author, evil genius, and used to work in Hollywood).  Our podcast is about discussing movies, TV shows, and pop culture that appeals to nerds like us - all with a healthy dose of SALT.  We aim to entertain while critiquing all the things we love (and hate).

The idea of supporting a creator financially can be a daunting one. But doing so helps that creator produce more of the content you love and crave. The primary form of content we produce are podcasts, but we also produce videos and content on social media. The big reasons you should think about supporting us on Patreon are:

  • Your support helps us to record podcasts full time without being distracted by a day job.
  • Your support helps us to produce podcasts and other content quicker.
  • Your support helps us to provide for our families.
  • Your support allows us to explore new projects and take chances on other creative endeavors.
  • Your support helps us to stay independent and free from the demands of advertisers.
  • Your support helps us to produce content on a regular basis.
  • Your support helps us to afford better equipment for higher production value.
  • Your support helps us to afford to travel to events and meet with fans.

The support of our fans is vital to our continued success in producing a kick-butt podcast full time. By having a regular, steady income from Patreon, we don’t have to rely on other jobs to pay for our living expenses. With your support, and the support of Patrons like you, we're able to focus better on producing high-quality podcasts, video, and other content without worrying about keeping the lights on or feeding our families.

Our goals are simple.  We want to accrue at least 1,000 awesome Patrons who are willing to support our show.  We want to earn enough to pay all four co-hosts of The Salty Nerd Podcast enough so they can produce the show and all related content full time.  And anything over that we want to invest back into the show to get better equipment, better facilities, and more staff.

Your pledge goes toward these goals.  So if you like the podcast and want to support the show, please sign up for the rewards tier that's right for you, right now!
