Hi, it's Anna. In this episode with Ellen Burston is one of my all-time favorite

Death Sex and Money shows. It's an example of what I'm proud that Death Sex and

Money adds to our world right now when we need more conversations that are complicated,

curious, honest, and sometimes uncomfortable.

And you know, one of the uncomfortable things I try to be direct about on this show is money.

And I'm going to be direct with you about that right now.

It takes money to make this show, for us to travel and report stories, to live shows to put together big projects like our

student loan series and your support you're pitching in with your fellow

listeners is our most important source of funding. But right now less than

0.3% of people who listen to death sex and money have donated. An even smaller

percentage have signed up to support us on an ongoing basis as sustaining

members, which is the kind of reliable support that helps all of the shows here at WNYC

studios plan and grow.

I want us to at least get to 1% of listeners of death, sex, and money,

and I know we can do it.

Join in and give what you can.

Here is your chance to be part of the 1%.

So if you like this show and you want to keep it going,

we need you to donate now.

At a time when it feels like there's a lot going wrong with our world.

I'm trying to direct my money to things I believe in.

I hope death sex and money is one of those things for you.
