From PRX.

Hey, it's Mark Pagan here with a quick note.

I want to let you know that right now we're holding our annual Radio Tapia fundraiser.

As you've heard me say, this show is a part of Radio Tapia, the original home for independent

podcasts.

Creating a show like this is hard.

It takes time and resources to do it well, and we get support from Radio Tapia to make

this show on our own terms.

Radio Tapia is a part of PRX, a nonprofit that supports independent creators like this,

and thanks to your monthly donations, they get to focus on making the best show they can.

You can learn more and donate at radiotopia.fm or follow the link in the show notes.
