Hey everybody, you are listening to Canary Cry Radio, and it's me, your best buddy Basil.

And this is Gons. Welcome to episode number 157.

We've got a great show today. We're hoping everybody has continued to enjoy the Canary Cry

Radio episodes going out every couple weeks. Thank you so much for everybody who's sent in their notes and their comments and their

excitement about bringing Canary Cry Radio back.

I think it's pretty clear that we need to find a permanent way to keep this going.

So we're going to be looking at ways to do that. And remember,

what makes that possible is the participation by our producers in the value for value model.

If you listen to Canary Cride News talk, you've heard me yell about it for years now. But

the value for value model truly is the only way that Gans and I

are able to do what we do, mainly because the idea of taking any sort of corporate money

just seems wrong for what we do and what we stand for, and, you know, what we believe the Lord is doing in the world

and with Canary Cry. So value for value model, just simple, simply means if you get value from what

we do, you can put value back in. And not just can, but it really is the knowing that the we the people vibe of independent

media needs to stay alive and, you know, is at risk. The encroachment of corporate money

on independent media has wreaked all sorts of havoc and we're seeing the

effects of that here and there and everywhere. But when listeners of Canary Cry shows

realize that the shows just wouldn't exist, it's just a moment to consider, to ponder,

what is the show worth?

What does the show bring to your life?

And then put your own number on that.

And then you can support the show either financially or with your time or with your talent.
