want to say a quick thank you to everyone who's already donated to support Radiotopia

and this show during our fall fundraiser.

It's always great to hear from so many of you out there in listener land who feel

moved and connected to support the things we make. Our fundraiser is coming to a

close later this month and if we reach our goal of 1,000 donors after the

holidays we'll share a digital zine with everyone who donated to help us get there

but we're still a little short. As of recording this we are still needing 160 more listeners to join the fold. If you've been on the fence or

meaning to donate, please consider making your tax deductible gift today to support independent podcasts like this one.

Head over to radiotopia.F.M slash donate and make your gift today. Thank you so much for listening and supporting this show.
