Last Minute Lecture is closing

Monthly donations are now closed

We are not able to keep adding to the library, and even with our supporters' donations the site has lost money every month. We are students ourselves, and we would rather be honest about that than keep taking monthly payments for something we simply cannot keep expanding.

So monthly donations are closed as of today. If you were already supporting us: thank you, genuinely — you kept this alive far longer than it would have lasted otherwise. Your final month is honoured, and you will not be charged again. We are cancelling the payments ourselves, so there is nothing you need to do. If anything looks wrong on your account, email us and we will make it right.

Through August, every feature on the site is free for everyone with an account. Study Mode, full transcripts, copying and downloading them, unlimited offline downloads and the private podcast feed — all of it, for anyone signed in, with no payment and no tier. There is nothing left to pay for here.

After that, the chapter audio moves to our YouTube channel and stays free — for as long as there are no issues with YouTube's current or future policies. Captions and translations there come from YouTube's own tools rather than from us.

This was not an easy decision, and we did not come to it quickly. We are endlessly grateful for the support this community has given us — and especially to our subscribers, who chose to put real money behind something they believed in when they did not have to.

If something is wrong with a payment, please come to us before your bank — email contact@lastminutelecture.com and we will make it right. A card dispute costs us a fee several times the size of the payment itself, and while we are closing down we do not have the funds to cover those.

If you have any questions at all, email us at contact@lastminutelecture.com and we will reply.
