Please Support “Talking Animals” (& Me! ) During WMNF’s Summer Fund Drive June 5

By | May 23, 2013 | General | No comments

Bob-Dylan-Wilco-My-Morning-Jacket

I’m asking that you support “Talking Animals,” and me, in our Fund Drive show Wednesday, June 5, 9am-10am ET–but, ideally, BEFORE then!

June is also when we celebrate the 10th anniversary of “Talking Animals”!!!

Wish us Happy Anniversary by pledging! We have killer tickets to see Dylan/Wilco/MMJ. AND to see Daniel Tosh. Etc. Details below.

That hour of our fund drive show on June 5–from 9-10am that morning–is the only time our show will be “credited” with your donation.

If a pledge comes in afterward, it’s credited to another show,  but you can give beforehand… how ’bout now? Read more…
