Who made this?

Your seamless listening experience is powered by Supporting Cast. Contact help@supportingcast.fm for support.

Will my Smarty Pass subscription replace my sustaining gift to Brains On?

No, a Smarty Pass subscription and sustaining gift are separate. Sustaining gifts are tax-deductible donations and these philanthropic donations remain a critical source of funding to create the shows of the Brains On! Universe and to offer them free for everyone – always.

Smarty Pass is a way to pay for bonus episodes of our kids shows and subscribe to an ad-free feed. These payments are not tax deductible.

You can do either, or both! Click here to give a tax-deductible donation of any amount and scroll back to the top of this page to sign up for Smarty Pass!

How do gifts work? 🎁

You can buy six months or one year of access here. This is the perfect way to share the show and all the benefits of the Smartypass with your friends and family.

Gifts are available in six-month and one-year terms. They do not auto-renew; you’ll only be charged once.
