Your support of the program is invaluable. Producing the Thom Hartmann Program is a labor of love for the team, but doesn't come without cost. We supply the program to non-profit, community and volunteer radio and cable stations across the US. However, this isn't cost free and being a supporter through Patreon means you can help us to meet some of the bills, to allow us to continue free supply to the non-profit sector.

As a way of saying thank you, we would like to give you something back for your support at various levels.

Every weekday, the live Thom Hartmann Program three hour program is recorded exclusively for Patreon supporters. Unedited, the full three hour video will be right here on the Patreon page, within a couple of hours of the end of the live program. And we're also providing extra videos not seen anywhere else like our new one. Should Pharmaceutical Companies who Kill Their Patients Face Death Penalty? The law holds drug dealers responsible if the product they sell results in an overdose and death. Yet multinational corporations who profit in the billions off a product that is killing Americans at higher rates than traffic accidents and gun deaths are free to continue selling their products to vulnerable populations. Why is this?

If you sign up on Patreon you'll get more than the podcast. Can you take time now to support this show?
