Support
Since 2016 The Engineered Network has been entirely run, developed, content created, edited and published by me, John Chidgey as a passion project. My full time job is as an Electrical and Control Systems Engineer, and has been for the past 30 years. The reason this exists is to share what I’ve learned in my career with everyone and to reach as wide an audience as possible.
This work is predominantly funded by you, our listeners. If not for your support, this project would ultimately end.
If you’d like to support one show or all the shows, then you can! There are many options listed below from most preferred at the top.

In detail:
via Patreon
Regular recurring support is preferred via our Patreon. This is the best way to support as you also get access to extra perks like content created just for Patrons, early release ad-free, higher quality episodes and clips that aren’t available anywhere else. If you like what we’re doing at TEN and you want to support then Patreon is the best way to do that. There are monthly tiers now also with an Annual discount of two months free!
via Buy Me A Coffee
Regular recurring support is available via Buy Me A Coffee. This is the next best way to support as you also get access to extra perks like content created just for Patrons, early release ad-free, higher quality episodes and clips that aren’t available anywhere else. There are monthly tiers with an Annual discount of two months free, as well as one-off support too if you’d prefer. Unlike Patreon, Buy Me A Coffee only supports Audio playback in their app or via their website.
via Ko-Fi Regular recurring support is available via Ko-Fi. This is the next best way to support as you also get access to extra perks like content created just for Patrons, early release ad-free, higher quality episodes and clips that aren’t available anywhere else. There are monthly tiers with an Annual discount of two months free, as well as one-off support too if you’d prefer. Unlike Patreon, Ko-Fi only supports Audio playback via their website.
via Apple Podcasts
An alternative recurring support option is via our Apple Podcasts Channel. This is the equivalent of Patreon Premium support as you also get access audio content created just for Patrons, as well as early release ad-free, higher quality episodes and clips that aren’t available anywhere else. There is monthly and an annual support option that includes two months free!
via PayPal
If you’re not comfortable with recurring support that’s totally fine, there is also a PayPal Me for one off support.
via YouTube
One final alternative recurring support option is joining our YouTube Channel as a Member. This are three equivalent Patreon support levels, Named Supporter, Premium and Silver Producer and you also get access to early-release video and audio-as-video content, as well as Patron exclusive episodes and clips that aren’t available anywhere else.
THANK YOU!!
Thank you all for your support and encouragement because without it, TEN would not exist.
