The station is run entirely by volunteers who are passionate about sharing their love of music, art, and culture with others. By supporting Radio Lear, you are helping to create a space where like-minded individuals can come together and connect over their shared interests. This sense of community is especially important in today’s world, where many people feel isolated and disconnected from others.

Another reason to support Radio Lear is that the station is dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusivity in the arts. The station seeks to showcase artists from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, with the goal of creating a more representative and inclusive cultural scene in Leicester. By supporting Radio Lear, you are helping to promote diversity and inclusivity in the arts, and sending a message that everyone’s voice deserves to be heard.

Radio Lear Patreon subscribers will have access to the Decentered Media Discourse Forum and Discord Channel.

Note: In our initial stages of development, while we get going, we are supported by Dr Rob Watson of Decentered Media, who is donating time, expertise and administrative resources to help establish Radio Lear. Rob says, “I’m thrilled to be supporting Radio Lear, and to help establish the essential and convention-busting service. This is a massive learning experience that involves bringing together established and new networking platforms with emerging AI and generative creative tools. I’m looking forward to making new friends along the way, and learning about emergent sound arts and music. I’m also doing this because it feels like fun.”
