Maybe not the most creative answer, but I would fund the amazing and entertaining work that my friends and peers are already doing. Because they already are creating things far beyond what I could ever dream up. I would just want them to be fairly compensated while doing so for a change!
Fun question inspired by a discord convo: If you had the resources of a renaissance noble and could commission an AP to entertain yourself, what would you commission and from who?

reminder that color-blind casting in the audio scene will always lead to a white-leaning cast because the majority of people who audition are white.
write diversity into your shows and cast intentionally, a character's race/gender DO impact who they are and you should know that before casting.

I have yet to meet many systems I don’t like, but these were all wonderful to play and I miss the games I was in! Hopefully at least 1 of them is in my future this year.

Since I’m regularly creating actual play, it’s so easy to feel like I don’t have enough time to consume the content that others are making. However, I managed to listen to more shows this year than I thought I did!
