Hello, podcast listeners. This is Matt, your host for Planetary Radio. Those of you are new to the show, every once in a while I come up with a special little message for those of you who hear us this way rather than on the radio or satellite

radio. This time as usual we want to thank you for first of all being

listeners to the show and participating in any way you can. Maybe you went to the trivia

contest. Maybe you still haven't won a planetary radio t-shirt. Well stay tuned

because we might be able to tell you how to do that without having to answer a trivia question.

But really what this is about is asking for your help.

It is that time of year, I'm afraid, as we get close to the end of the fiscal year for the planetary

society when all of us are expected to show that we've pulled our own weight, including the radio show.

In fact, there's a goal set for planetary radio at the society, which is still a struggling

nonprofit.

These are tough times for nonprofits, you know.

Not really all that much money, not compared to, oh, I don't know, putting a rocket

in orbit, but still a pretty substantial amount for an

organization like ours. When this kind of thing happens we have to look to you folks

can you find it in your in your hearts and in your wallets to help out?

You cannot believe how much we will appreciate anything that you are able to do to help make

sure the planetary radio remains something that you can enjoy on a weekly

basis. Hopefully you're enjoying it as much as we enjoy bringing it to you.
