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!

Oh. Boy. I’m so naive as to think they were real.
As my probity shows, in the end is my beginning.
Will somebody please complain? It’s been 32 (well, 33) posts. It doesn’t feel like Ricochet. C’mon people.
Complain, complain, complain, complain.
This will be terrible. Now we will have all these new people to get to know and new ideas will be introduced.
How’s that @hoyacon?
Actually, if they just join as ‘Podcast Members” you likely won’t interact with them at all.
I originally joined because I was enjoying the podcasts and wanted to support what I was using. I didn’t want to be a free rider. I never intended to spend so much time reading other posters comments and responding to them. I’m considering downgrading my membership to “podcast” for a while.
….or maybe not.
Please don’t. We would miss your comments.

Thank you – that’s kind of you. But I’m not sure I will – its fun and interesting here.
So Ricochet is raising prices and offering less services. Note that the Thatcher level now only offers a mug – that special custom podcast and other benefits are no longer listed. I remember discussing those features previously – I guess TPTB decided to get rid of them?
Top tier members will still get access to special events (working on a very cool one for July) and we expect to continue producing the occasional special podcasts. But we didn’t not want to praise something we couldn’t fulfill on a regular basis, which is why we dropped them from the descriptions.
Well, they can comment on the podcast posts.
They can read comments elsewhere. One-sided, but still interaction!
Truman: You get two, any only two, F-Bombs in the first 6 months of your membership.
