How much is the Cato Daily Podcast worth to you?

We certainly enjoy putting it together for you,

and we know from all the positive feedback

that it's an important part of many of our listener's days.

If you value our distinctly libertarian perspective, I hope you'll consider joining our new

podcast sponsor program. If you visit Cato.org slash podcast sponsor, you can learn about various

levels of support and the benefits you'll enjoy as a Cato sponsor.

For example, if you become a patron sponsor by giving $1,000 or more,

I'll personally thank you on the podcast, and you'll get the regular benefits of being

a Cato patron as well. If you prefer, you can donate in a friend or family member's name as well.

It's the perfect gift for someone who values liberty but has everything else.

Learn more about the benefits of becoming a podcast sponsor at Cato.org

slash podcast sponsor. And as always, thank you for listening.

by you, Ike Branen.
