Shedunnit is a completely independent podcast, meaning that there is no publisher or network covering any of its costs. I’m able to keep it going like that in large part because of the Shedunnit Book Club members, who through their contributions give me a stable allowance to spend on all the costs associated with the show. Please see below for the benefits of membership and how to sign up. If you have any questions about the club or difficulties signing up, you can peruse the FAQs or contact the Book Club’s membership co-ordinator Connor McLoughlin on connor@shedunnitshow.com for more information.

This year’s pledge drive perk is an audiobook: a recording of me reading 12 whodunnits for your listening pleasure. If you’d like to hear that, you will need to join now. (Existing members can get access now here.)

Everyone who signs up during the pledge drive will also get access to the full library of bonus episodes and book club perks, plus the chance to gift a membership to a friend at no extra cost. All the details on how to join are below. Thank you for your time and support.

— There’s information on how to do that here.


Spread the word about the podcast

— Not everyone is in a position to make a financial contribution, and that is very much OK! But if you’d still like to be part of making the pledge drive a success, tell your mystery-loving friends about the podcast or post about it social media. Leaving a review on platforms like Apple Podcasts is also a really good way of spreading the word.
