Fucking Bums

Two of my favorite podcasts are "Jordan, Jesse, Go!" and "Comedy and Everything Else".  Most of the other ones I listen to have lengthy ads for audible.com or a subscription fee; these podcasts don't, instead they occasionally ask for donations to defray their costs.  

"In the past year, we've probably made 100-125 hours of programming.  Of course, we give it all away for free, so we pretty much rely completely on people's voluntary donations to support us". - Jesse Thorn of "Jordan, Jesse, Go!" 

This works out nicely for me; they're giving me the option of doing nothing.  But for some reason, when they ask for donations, they seem like beggars and cheapskates, even though I'm the one who's freeloading.
