The Founding Members Program is for people who want to help build Masters Radio while it is still being built. For $4.99/month, Founding Members get:
- Behind-the-music content (1-2 pieces per month)
- Early access to new features and content
- Exclusive Founding Member badge

This is not a subscription to music. It is a membership in a movement. Members participate. Listeners consume.
What is the difference between a member and a listener?
Anyone can be a listener. Listening to our three streaming channels is completely free and always will be.
Members are people who choose to go further. They support the mission of paying artists fairly, get access to behind-the-scenes content and courses, and become part of the community that is building something new in independent music.
