Sox Machine is a Chicago White Sox blog and podcast that relies mostly on support from readers and listeners. Having had plenty of experience with the other models for sustainability — chasing page views with post-padding, advertising overdoses, pivoting to video — we wouldn’t have it any other way.

You can help support Sox Machine and the Sox Machine Podcast through Patreon, starting with access to ad-free and exclusive content for as little as $2 per month.
