It costs Chicago Public Radio $130,000 a year to cover the bandwidth for delivering our free podcast. And it costs a lot more than that to produce the show itself. In the past that money has come from people donating to public radio stations, but more and more people like you are listening online...and we need your help. A buck. Five bucks. Ten if you can spare it. Click here to donate. We're hoping that lots of little donations like this can keep the show in production, and keep the podcast and streaming free. We really appreciate you helping out.
Also, and this is very exciting: now you can text your donation. Just text the word LIFE to the number 25383, and a one-time donation of $5 will be added to your mobile phone bill. Send your text, then reply YES to the confirmation. It literally takes ten seconds, and will be a huge help. If that's confusing, you can of course just donate on the web. Again, thank you. We can't make the show without your help.
