I've been a fan of soma fm for a while http://soma.fm - particularly the Secret Agent channel. If you haven't checked them out already do so!

Bought a t-shirt from them a while back, $50, is great quality, wash robust, looks good. If they're still selling merchandise it's a great way of supporting them.

I've coded to Soma (mostly the awesome Secret Agent channel: http://somafm.com/play/secretagent) for years. I'll gladly donate...it's phenomenally good.

Soma is a great station, and has been for years. They've also done a great job of helping fight for the rights of Internet broadcasters over the years, against the RIAA and ASCAP.

I listen to Groove Salad almost all day at work so I'll definitely be supporting them.

Not sure if I like funding drives on HN. If it is 'listener supported' then why post here ?

At $50 I'll sell you all the t-shirts you want.

To be fair, it's more like he pledged 50$ and they gave him a t-shirt.
