I hate iTunes so much, it drives me crazy that podcasting is so dependent on it. If anyone has suggestions for how to best support the show w/out it I'm all ears!
(my wife has an iphone so i'll be subscribing/reviewing through her stupid itunes anyway 
)
I'm in a similar boat as you. I've never owned a single Apple product in my life. I used to use iTunes on my PC for listening to the few podcasts I listened to regularly. My iTunes account was hacked a couple of years ago by some mutant who decided to go on a spending spree buying digital albums by artists I despise.
Here's things you can do to support the show that do not require subscribing to the show's podcast on iTunes:
1. Tell people about the show. If you're on social media use the #BestShow4Life hashtag when you post stuff about the show. If you have friends/family that use iTunes, ask them to subscribe to the podcast. The
Newbridge infomercial is on YouTube; share that with your friends and family. It just might be the gateway to getting them on board with "The Best Show."
2. Buy some stuff from
Stereolaffs. When you buy shirts and CDs from there you are directly supporting what Tom and Jon are doing. BONUS: Sometimes your package contains a special button and/or sticker.
3. Pre-order the
Scharpling & Wurster "Best Of The Best Show" box set that Numero Group is releasing in a few months. I know that $100 seems like a lot, but keep in mind that it's 16 CDs + a book and other goodies.
4. As sponsors and advertisers are introduced support them to the extent that you can.
There will be other opportunities to support the show in the future. Tom will give you the lowdown on what you can do as things develop.
