A message from TAPIT host Todd Boss:
​
First of all... thank you for listening! I consider it a privilege to be able to do this work, and to do it for such enthusiastic, joyous, loving listeners who recognize the value TAPIT brings to the lives it touches.
​
My vision is to champion poetry as a healing art for the betterment of our world. TAPIT is a powerful demonstration kitchen for a more poetic future for humanity. Every episode advances this vision in new directions. There's no telling how far this vision can take us.
​
I've launched TAPIT out of my own pocket, drawing from my personal savings to prove a concept I believe in, producing the first 10 episodes on a shoestring, calling in favors from my team of producers and editors. It's not easy. Podcasting is a crowded arena, and it takes a lot of momentum for a show to rise above the noise...
​
But more and more listeners are coming forward asking how they can help. I can't tell you how INSPIRING that is for me and my team.
​
Here are 5 ways you can support the show — today:
​
-
Tell others about it. Leave a review, post to social media, tell your favorite culture reporter. Some become ambassadors by leaving TAPIT calling cards at their favorite cafe or bookstore (see MERCH). Others prompt loved ones to become guests!
-
Invite me to speak. I love sharing my passion for poetry and the ways it moves in the world. Online or in person, I love engaging in animated, motivating, creative conversations about empathy, listening, and art. Hit CONTACT US above.
-
Join my Patreon page. For as little as $1/month, you'll get sneak peeks into TAPIT and all my other creative projects — books, lyrics, premieres, and new poems! Click here.
-
Attend our official launch event Sept 21, 2025 in Austin. Our local community is getting behind the momentum with a fundraiser, and I'd love to see you there. Hit CONTACT US above and ask for details!
-
Donate here: A single episode costs $8,000 but any size contribution is welcome. Donations are tax-deductible thanks to our nonprofit fiscal sponsor, Entertainment to Affect Change. Donate here.

I'm always listening. Thanks to you.​
