Pledge Week on National Public Radio

1) I hate pledge week on National Public Radio but know it's a "necessary evil" and

2) KPR out of Lawrence is a lot less obnoxious in its fundraising than KCUR.

I know you gotta' do what you gotta' do but wow. It's so nice when it's over.

Please, if you do listen, phone in or go online and pledge. The phone numbers and links, both, are at bottom.

And if you don't listen but aren't familiar with it, you might check it out. Between either news or entertainment--or both--you may well enjoy what you hear.

--KCUR, Kansas City phone number: 816.235.5287

Kansas Public Radio, KPR, out of Lawrence and Kansas: 785-864-5268

Not to be forgotten, there is Warrensburg, Missouri's own KTBG, The Bridge, at 90.9 FM: 866.909.2743 (toll free).
