Country Fried Rock is like hanging out at a coffee shop talking about emerging music with friends who get it.

I'm the host, Sloane Spencer. For 15+ years, I worked in radio, wishing that I could share the incredible music that friends were making, knowing those songs would never be played on corporate radio. As internet radio and podcasting expanded, I decided to jump in -- not really sure what I was doing or how it would go, but knowing that I like great bands.

It's been pretty dang amazing.

I'm setting up this subscription option because we need to be financially afloat in order to continue making new podcasts and giving voice to the songwriters you love. Just our hosting and distribution fees annually approach $3200!

I'd like to offer you something special as our fans who have helped make this show so amazing.

I'm starting a new video series of select Country Fried Rock alumni, and I'd like to let you hear those conversations first. I'm recording them in Nashville next month, and will make them available to the public beginning in January 2016.

As a subscriber, I am going to release them here -- to you only -- first.

I also have a huge stack of great music from artists we have featured and those we have not; I'd like to occasionally mail out some of these CD's as small ways of forwarding the art. I also get a lot of promo material (like a MailChimp rubber gorilla!) that I'd love to surprise you with in the mail, for example. That's why I asked for a mailing address. Who doesn't like getting a silly gift in the mail?

I never thought I'd end up making so many friends doing Country Fried Rock. I am humbled by those who have been touched by our focus on musicians' mental health care. So many of you have personally reached out to me thanking me for sharing information about resources for musicians. I hope that I have helped someone and made all of your lives a little better. You matter. You are worth it.

Most of all, thank you. I never imagined how many people would like the music I do, nor that so many folks would listen to our conversations. I'm just a fan, maybe a super-fan, but a fan, of great music. You are the reason I do this. Thank you. Sloane
