Hey, dear listener, it's me, Benjamin Walker, your host. Now, as you've heard me say many

times before, the theory of everything is a proud and founding member of Radiotopia from PRX.

I've actually been saying this phrase for a decade now.

That's right, Radiotopia has been a part of my life for 10 years.

I will admit there's been some turbulence, political instability, climate change, a global pandemic.

But I feel very fortunate that I've been able to plot a steady course through it all

thanks to listeners like you who have helped keep this whole listener-supported podcast network

afloat.

That's really what Radiotopia is. It's a network that's supported by

listeners like you. And I've been fortunate that so many of you have ponied up money and donations

during our annual fund drives over the past decade. And that's what I'm asking you to do now.

It is time, once again, dear listener, to open up your heart and your wallet.

Because right now, we are doing our fall fundraiser.

We have a goal this year of reaching 2024 new donors.

And you can learn all about our fall fundraiser if you visit RadioTen 2024 new donors.

And you can learn all about our fall fundraiser if you visit Radiotopia.fm slash donate.

You can learn more and add your name to the list of listeners who support independent podcasts.

Donating will also get you a link to a curated list of all Radiotopia producers' favorite things. That's yours as a token of things when you make a donation.
