GoFundMe Campaign for Bucket City Mouthwash

Introduction

Hello, friends and supporters! My name is Matthew Olson and others call me Grady. Since December, I have been passionately working on my podcast, Bucket City Mouthwash, while continuing my career as a freelance journalist. This campaign aims to raise funds to help me enhance the quality of my podcast and expand its reach.

About the Podcast

Bucket City Mouthwash is a podcast that focuses on the artistic community in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and the broader Middle Tennessee region. The podcast serves as a platform to highlight the stories and projects of local artists, providing them with an opportunity to share their experiences, insights, and creative endeavors.

4.) Marketing and Promotion:

Cost: Around $500 for social media advertising and promotional materials.

5.) Website Development:

Travel Expenses for Guests:
