Hello, Brendan Francis Nuneum here.

Along with Rico Gagliano, and hey, we know you have already supported the show with a financial

contribution via our website, dinner party download.org.

Yeah, thanks.

But some people haven't, so this message is for them.

Yeah, since you've already donated, please just continue feeling good about yourself for a second

while we ask other listeners to chip in.

Other listeners, we know that you're busy, that you are tired of public radio types whining

for dollars and that many of you have already skipped ahead in this podcast. That is true.

Now, you other listeners might think it's easy to interview smart, creative people, eat great

food and get every new book, TV show, and movies sent to you for free. And we're here to tell you, you're actually right.

But paying for everything else is not.

Our bandwidth costs money, for instance.

Our equipment costs money.

Driving all over the place to meet all these smart, cool people, is costing ever

larger amounts of money, other listeners.

Lots of money, other listeners.

If you want to keep this dinner party going, please support us by contributing perhaps the cost

of a bottle of wine.

Only appropriate for a dinner party.

Yes, by going to dinner party download.org and clicking the yellow button that says, donate.

Thanks.
