🎩 WE HAVE MOVED! Introducing the ALL-NEW Ripon Rabbit Hole VIP Backstage Lounge!

The Ripon Rabbit Hole VIP Backstage Lounge has officially moved — and we’re opening the doors to an entirely new experience!

After years of bringing people together through our original backstage lounge, we’ve retired our old Whereby platform and officially closed that location.

Whereby is no longer in use, and the old backstage address is no longer active.

But don’t worry — we’re not going anywhere!

In fact, we’re just getting started.

We’ve built an all-new VIP Backstage Lounge designed to make it easier, more enjoyable, and more interactive than ever to connect with the Ripon Common Sense Radio Network and the people who make this community so special.

And we’ve given it a brand-new permanent home:

That’s right! No more searching for the backstage meeting room or wondering where everyone went.

One easy-to-remember address. One incredible community. Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week!

🎙️ More Than Just a Chat Room

For those unfamiliar with our VIP Backstage Lounge, imagine having a virtual backstage pass to your favorite radio shows — where you’re not just listening to the conversation, you’re invited to be part of it!

Our lounge has always been about something bigger than broadcasting.

It’s about connecting people.

It’s about real conversations, different perspectives, challenging questions, a few good laughs, and the friendships that develop when people come together.

Whether you’re joining us during a live broadcast or simply stopping by to see who’s hanging out, the VIP Backstage Lounge is your place to connect.

🛠️ All New — Built With Our Community in Mind!

We’ve been working behind the scenes to create a completely new backstage experience, with a fresh interface, upgraded technology, and some exciting new ways to participate.

Our new platform is designed around making the experience simpler and more accessible.

Among the improvements and features we’re introducing:

A brand-new backstage experience with a refreshed, easy-to-use interface.
Simpler access — create a screen name and come on in!
Interactive conversations that make it easier to participate in the discussion.
Audio participation so you can join the conversation without needing to appear on camera.
On-screen guest opportunities with dedicated spaces for live participation.
Raise-your-hand functionality designed to help organize discussions and give more people an opportunity to be heard.
Improved audio and video technology for a more engaging backstage experience.
An always-open community space where the conversation doesn’t have to end when the broadcast does.

And this is only the beginning!

Because we’re developing this new experience ourselves, we’ll have more flexibility to improve it, introduce new features, and respond to feedback from the people who use it.

The best part? You get to help us shape what comes next!

🆓 FREE Means FREE!

Let’s clear something up right now.

Despite the name VIP Backstage Lounge, there’s no expensive membership, subscription, or exclusive club you need to join.

It’s FREE. It has always been FREE. And it always will be FREE!

Just like our speech. We believe meaningful conversations shouldn’t come with an admission fee.

You don’t need to be a broadcaster, a technical expert, or even someone who likes talking on the microphone.

Some people love jumping into the conversation. Others prefer listening, observing, and getting to know the community before speaking.

Both are welcome.

🚪 Getting In Couldn’t Be Easier!

Ready to check out our new home?

STEP 1: Visit https://vip.riponrabbithole.com

STEP 2: Create a screen name so everyone knows what to call you.

STEP 3: Allow camera and microphone permissions!

STEP 4: Join the lounge!

That’s it!

No complicated process. Just show up, say hello, and enjoy the experience.

You can participate as much or as little as you’re comfortable with.

🎧 Your Voice Matters Here

One of the things we’ve always believed at the Ripon Rabbit Hole is that a good conversation isn’t necessarily one where everyone agrees.

Sometimes the best discussions begin when someone asks a question nobody else thought to ask.

And that’s what we want our new lounge to encourage.

You don’t have to agree with the hosts.

You don’t have to agree with everyone else.

You don’t have to be an expert.

Just bring your curiosity, your common sense, and a willingness to treat others with respect.

We aren’t interested in creating an echo chamber. We’re interested in creating a place where people can actually talk to one another.

In a world where so many conversations take place through social media comments, algorithms, and anonymous arguments, there’s something refreshing about hearing another human voice.

That’s the experience we’re continuing to build.

🔧 We’re Growing — And You’re Invited to Help!

As with any newly launched platform, we’ll continue testing, refining, and improving the experience.

You may discover something that could work better. You may have an idea for an exciting new feature. Or you may simply notice something we haven’t caught yet.

We want to hear about it!

Our community has always been one of our greatest resources, and your feedback will help make this new backstage experience even better.

So don’t wait for a live broadcast to give it a try.

Stop in, create your screen name, explore, and get comfortable.

The lights are on, the doors are open, and you’re invited!
