Hey gang, I am Jesse Thorne, the host of Bullseye, obviously. We have something very different,

very special for you today. Why? Well, today is the first day of the Max Fund Drive. It is the one

time each year that Bullseye goes to you, our audience, and asks you for your direct support

of the show. Obviously, this is a time of funding crisis for all of

public media, our show in particular, your actual direct support you choosing to make this show

happen is what keeps our lights on. And, you know, that's not hyperbolic. That is very literal.

We hope that you will become a member of Maximum Fund today and support our show directly by going to maximum fund.org slash join.

And no matter what level you join at, it starts at five bucks a month, you will get access to

hours and hours and hours of special bonus content. So like,

slash join bullseye. That link is in the show notes as well. Maximumfund.org slash join bullseye.

And we'll just take you to a gre grease shoot to membership, $5 a month supporting Bullseye. It is very, very easy to sign up.

You can use Apple Pay. And then you will know that you are paying for this show. Anyway,

what you are about to hear is a little taste of one of the most ambitious things we've ever done for bull's eye earlier

this month we decided to take the show out of the studio and into the real world for a special

members only episode we are calling it bull's eyes gold this is in tribute to all of public media's
