We Need Your Help
Our audience has been growing and while we’re over the moon about it, it does create one issue. Bandwidth. Basically for every time an episode is listened to or downloaded, it goes against our bandwidth. Now, we have 2TB of bandwidth a month, but with Amanda’s episode and more people finding us through the giveaway, we’re quick approaching that cap. Yesterday we had used up 1.6TB, today it’s up to 1.7TB.

It resets soon, yes, but with a larger audience and other high profile interviews planned, we know it’s going to hit and pass that 2TB a month allotment. We haven’t released an episode since Amanda’s because we can’t afford to. We have two in the queue (an amazing interview with the ladies of The Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes and our interview with Louise Brealey), but if we put them on our podcast gets shut down because we’ll go over our bandwidth and no one will be able to listen to any episodes until it’s reset. And then we’ll have to play the game all over again.
This means we have to upgrade. By upgrading we’ll be getting another 2TB of bandwidth, which should be more than enough (mostly because it’s the highest tier podOmatic offers!). We haven’t changed servers because they have served us very well as we’ve grown this past year. We can’t host the podcasts on our own website because the bandwidth will be too expensive. It’s cheaper to outsource it.
To upgrade we need $400. We are completely funded by you all and our sponsors (though they can’t and shouldn’t pay us until we put episodes out!). We’ve personally contributed our money over the past year, but with our new website coming soon, we need to pay our designer. So we can’t use what stores we have for this without not paying him (and that wouldn’t be very nice).
If any of you can donate any amount of money, it would mean the world to us. We can continue to give you interviews and discussions about everything Sherlock Holmes. You can donate via paypal by clicking the button below…
EDIT: The donation button appears to be a little wonky, so if it kicks you out, the email address for donations is spazzkemmi@yahoo.com.
The email address is a dorky one from my teenage years that I’ve kept… sorry it’s ridiculous #hidesheadinshame. Everything you donate comes to us. You can also buy things from our cafepress store (though it takes awhile for that to get to us).
If you can’t donate, if you could please reblog this to spread the word we’d be incredibly thankful. Please don’t feel obligated, we know it’s a rough economic climate out there.
With our new website we are going to have a list of all of our amazing donators and we’re going to thank all of you.
Thank You,
The Baker Street Babes

Signal boost. They are not asking for a great deal of money. If everyone pitched in $1 we could easily cover that.
