Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
Introducing The Podcast Listener Tier
As you may have heard on last week’s Ricochet Podcast, we have recently introduced a new Ricochet member tier: The Podcast Listener tier. For $2.50 a month, members at this level can read the entire site (except for groups), but only comment on podcast posts.
In addition, we’ve also introduced the Lincoln level. Priced at $4.50 a month, members at this level can read and comment across the entire site, but cannot publish posts or participate in groups.
So, if you’re reading this post and you’re not a Ricochet member, now you have NO EXCUSE. Join today! We need you!

I think this is a great innovation, hopefully it will get more listener’s to sign-up and participate.
Sounds great.
I can see that there’s room for this kind of innovation. Custom fits for the customers is the way to advance. Trial and error is how all great things are discovered. I hope this works well or helps point us to the best solution for this site.
Since the Podcast level is all about modern communications, I think it should be the Trump level.
I keed!
I hope it encourages sign-ups. A little marketing innovation like this is worth trying.
Is there a NeverTrump level? What benefits does it confer?
Looks like Coolidge went up.

I’m thinking of all the possible levels you could have:
LBJ Level: Its $5/month when you start but it keeps going up every month. however , you don’t really mind because someone else is paying for it.
Nixon Level: You freeze the prices at $4.50/ month, but it goes up 10% a month anyway.
Hoover Level: US subscribers are $3/month and international users are $15/month
Any more?
The George H.W. Bush level: “Read my lips, no price increases!”
Seriously, I think these are great ideas.
The one month free, is the Harrison plan, right?
Great idea. I signed up at the Coolidge level last year in order to pay for all of the podcasts that I enjoy but I had (and still have) very little intention of posting. This may in fact be my first post. At 1/2 price, you may get more people to decide to become a member if they have a similar profile.
Thanks for posting!
Obama level: If you like your Coolidge Level, you can keep your Coolidge Level, and you can stay on your parents’ Thatcher Level till you’re 26.
This is a great idea. I’m sure people who sign up this way won’t be able to resist paying a little more to be able to write posts.
That’s called the Coolidge level and it’s half price if you are a libertarian.
Gingrich Level means that you threaten to not pay to “shut the site down” but if you don’t pay, nothing bad happens and you get the Blame!
Condor Level means you get to read everything on the site but you may be executed with no warning while everyone else is on lunch break. Dot matrix printer thrown in at no extra charge.
Since all they can comment on are podcast posts, maybe this should be the Coolidge level (few words) and the Coolidge level is renamed.
The FDR level, sign up two of your friends and they pay for your subscription.
Exactly right. (Very funny)
For complete anonymity, sign up for the Millard Fillmore level.
Why, did the price of a cup of coffee at the flagship Starbucks in Seattle just go up?
Who?
Personally I would take the William Henry Harrison level. It lasts one month and is nonrenewable.
I’ve been noticing the member count in the site-wide activity menu: the number is Up Up Up from last week.
And increaseing your debt by $10 trillion is required to remain member in good standing.
The trump level should come with its own pre-loaded twitter handle and a putty-tat-hat.
The Lincoln level will blow your mind.
Oh, wait, that was the WJC level.
I’ve got 47 interchangeable identities on the go, including several changes of underwear.
Putin Plants and Stooges.
Russian Vodka in your coffee.
So long as you’re paying 47 times, and follow CoC, I dont think the powers care if you go all schizo.
