International Pagan Radio Offline

Many Pagan organizations and services are funded mostly by the bank accounts of the people who start them. International Pagan Radio (IPN) is no exception – while they have a donation button and a merch shop on their site, but the owners are paying most of the bills personally.

IPN’s website went down today, and this evening, one of the organizers posted a video talking about what the current situation is.

There appear to be 2 problems: 1. IPN does not make enough money to be self-supporting, and 2. Because of the money situation, their webhost took them off line, but the people running it now are not the original owners, so they cannot get access to the site even if they had money to pay the bill.

It is unclear at this time what the IPN team plans to do next. We will endeavor to keep you informed.
