Public Radio Pledge Drives Blues

I am an avid fan of National Public Radio--and local Public Radio, too.  My local station is WAMU here in Washington, D.C.

Just because I hate to be reminded, I became a sustaining member about 3 years ago.  Every month I give the station $40.  I understand that I am one among about 9,000 fellow Washingtonians who support the programs this way.  I also give a sustaining gift of $15 a month to NPR station WNYC dedicated to the program "Radio Lab".  Nothing in life is free, and NPR is only if you don't take responsibility for the amazing things it offers, but choose to listen on a regular basis.
