GOFUNDME: THE BODY SERVE

GoFundMe: THE BODY SERVE TENNIS PODCAST

Here's our long story short: Jonathan and James met in Ithaca, NY [redacted] years ago. We found we shared many interests, including tennis. We talked and talked about tennis for years, until Jonathan suggested that we record these thoughts for *other* people to hear. It took a while to convince James that anyone would want to hear it. In January 2015, in the middle of Serena Slam 2.0, The Body Serve Tennis Podcast was born.

Fast forward to 2019, and we've been so fortunate to have listeners who have been supporting and encouraging this project. We wouldn't have been able to continue without that support. Honestly, we're still feeling a bit cute asking for funding ("cute" is a Jamaicanism). But this podcast is our passion, and we want to continue to get better at it. We hope to buy some better equipment, travel to more tournaments, and take the time to do the research we want to do. 

We believe we provide a unique product in the tennis media landscape. The Body Serve looks at tennis as linked to the broader world, as a site where gender, sex, class, power, politics, immigration, and culture interact. Our academic backgrounds no doubt inform our perspectives (James in Media Studies/Journalism and Jonathan in Sport History/Sociology). We have biases and we are honest about them. In tennis we see power and politics, but we also see hope, love, passion, joy, humor, and the best of us. 

If you like the podcast and want to hear more, consider helping to fund our future. Our goal is to expand our coverage and to ensure that the podcast continues to evolve, while maintaining our independent voice and the low-key, intimate relationship we've built with our listeners. 

You can find the GoFundMe here. 

As a thank you to donors, we are offering:

Donate $100 or more - Shout-out on the show, handwritten TBS postcard, and you get to submit any retired player for our Book Report segment

$50+ - Shout-out on the show and a handwritten TBS postcard in the mail 

$25 - Shout-out on the show and a thank you email

We will also have special giveaways a bit later in the campaign. Stay tuned for more details.

If I have an extra budget right now, I will surely donate some of my pennies. But right now, what I can do is to encourage people to support you and your podcast. I believe that you can do amazing things that's why I am hoping that more and more people will support your causes. Your primary aim, which is to expand our coverage and to ensure that the podcast continues to evolve is a good thing. Your followers can also feel your sincerity with this matter.

I love the show. I went to the GoFundMe this morning and it was already closed. I am so sorry to have missed it as I wanted to contribute to this great cause. If you reopen it, please let me know. I would love to contribute!

You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the post. If you ever have more questions, need assistance, or want to discuss any topic in the future, don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your kind words, and have a great day!
Weeds are unwanted plants that grow in gardens, lawns, agricultural fields, or other areas where they are not intentionally cultivated. They can be a nuisance because they often compete with desirable plants for nutrients, water, sunlight, and space, which can affect the growth and health of the plants you want to keep.
