Hey folks, it's Jesse. We're getting close to the end of the year. Maybe you're thinking about

gifts, you're getting your friends and family, maybe you're thinking about what causes you can

support. I want to take a second and talk to you about supporting your local public radio station.

I'm literally a lifelong listener to public radio. Shout out to KQED and KALW in the Bay Area.

public radio, you're helping build curiosity, conversation, and community right in your backyard.

That's why I support my local NPR member station and why you should too. This year we're making

it really easy. Just go to donate.npr.org slash Bullseye to support your local NPR member station.

And again, that is donate.npr.org slash Bullseye. And thanks.

Bullseye with Jesse Thorn is a production of MaximumFun.org and is distributed by NPR.

Thou, the Coen Brothers Classic. Well, that's it boys. I've been redeemed. The preacher done

washed away all my sins and transgressions. It's a straightening era from here on out. And heaven

everlastens my reward. Delaware, what are you talking about? We got bigger fist-of-prie.

The preacher said all my sins is washed away, including that pigly wiggly I knocked over in

Yazoo. I thought you said you was in those charges. Well, I was lying. These days he's part of the cast
