Radio Topia. Welcome to the Kitchen Sisters Presently.

PRX.

We're the Kitchen Sisters, Davia Nelson and Nicki Silva.

Hi, this is Nicky of the Kitchen Sisters.

Thank you so much to everyone who's already donated to support Radiotopia and this show during our fall fundraiser.

Radiotopia from PRX is a non-profit public media company. The money we raise from this fundraiser

is split amongst all the shows in the network. This creates opportunity for emerging shows

or those that wouldn't be prioritized at other networks.

We love reading the comments that people leave when they donate.

Kelly says, keep the great creator-owned work coming. And Erica writes, I have been obsessed with every radiotopia

podcast I have listened to. I appreciate this collective so, so much and hope that these

amazing creators can keep making what they want to make in a world where many shows are being shut down.

We are coming to the end of the fundraiser, but we are still short of our goal. Not very short but short. If we reach our goal of a

thousand donors after the holidays we'll share a digital zine with everyone who

donated to help us get there. If you haven't donated yet, but you've been

thinking about it, we need your help now. Visit radiotopia.fm slash donate and add your name

to the list of listeners who support independent podcasts.

Thanks so much. Radiotopia.

Turns out our office is at the end of the parade route of Chinese funerals that snake through
