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 Members 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.
