Do you listen to This American Life? If so -- whether via your radio or your computer - I urge you to make a donation either to the Chicago radio station that hosts the show, or to your local radio station that broadcasts the show, so we can ensure the show continues.
Public radio in the USA is something I am particularly proud of as an American and that I enjoy sharing with people from other countries, because I think it's one of the things that's best about my own country. But public radio in the USA is going through dire times. Because of the current economic situation, sponsorship money is drying up and individual donations are severely down.
If you listen to "This American Life" via the official web site, then you are listening to the show via Chicago Public Radio, and you can support this online broadcast by going to the This American Life site and clicking on "Support Us" in the right hand column. If you listen via a local radio station, then visit that station's web site and either donate online or send a check - and be sure when you do to note that it's in support of the This American Life broadcast.
