You dont have to tip but tips are greatly appreciated. Your tips help support the podcast in multiple ways such as it helps me pay for my membership to the podcast host.

It will help pay for equipment such as microphones, headphones and an audio mixer. Yes i already have some equipment however if i have other microphones and headsets then i can have multiple guests on the show. Also upgrading those items means being able to bring better quality to the podcast.

I also helps to pay for any recording software i may need in the future. To be able to record a guest remotely i would need another membership to additional programs.
