Hi, dear listeners, this is Kate Riga. I'm here to make a quick pitch that you consider becoming a

TPM Prime member. TPM has used the member model for over a decade now, and our loyal members are the

only reason we've been able to weather the turbulence of the media landscape and avoid the fate that

has befallen so many other independent outlets. For $70, you get no paywall, fewer ads, access to the Hive member forum,

a member-only newsletter, and more. For $140 a year, you get all of that, plus no ads at all.

Without our members, there is no podcast, not to mention that I'm out of a job. Thank you so much

for listening and supporting us. We couldn't do it without you.
