Hey Nick.

Yes, Rebecca.

So here we are taping an episode of Civics 101 and you know I think all the time about this

podcast and how easy it sounds, you know what I'm talking about? and Hannah do your work you make it sound easy I

learned something every week when I listen to it but because I work with you each and every

week I know it's not easy to make, right? No, right?

It takes weeks and weeks of research to put an episode together,

interview, sometimes we throw whole episodes out

if we don't think they're going to work or if we can't get the right interview and this work

this kind of journalism it isn't cheap and we can only get it done when listeners like

you contribute to Civics 101 to keep our show going.

Want to say something else, Nick?

Well, thank you, Rebecca.

And let me just add that it's our podcast fundraiser,

which means that if listeners give right now

at the $10 a month level to support our mission to unpack how our democracy works, they get our

brand new tote bag.

It's really cool.

You had a hand in designing it, right, Rebecca?

I sure did.

Listen, I can't help put a little

coat back together. I love a good public radio tote. Yeah it's a classic for a reason
