Hey there, it's Martha. Recently, we heard from a listener named Wendy. She writes,

I feel that listening to you makes my brain cells grow. I don't know about

that, but each week, Grant and I do try to bring you a zesty mix of information and entertainment.

And we do this without funding from NPR or from any radio station. We're independently produced,

and that means we need your help. So please go to waywardradio.org.
