Hello everyone! I've been involved with CHIRP—a volunteer-run, listener-supported non-profit radio station—for about a year now. Because of the state of the world, CHIRP has suspended both its spring fundraising drive and annual Record Fair (now scheduled for October). Combined, these two events make up more than 25% of the station's annual budget. Delaying that income obviously stings.

So, CHIRP is doing just a ONE day push, on what would have been the $10 day of the fundraising drive. CHIRP is particularly special in this period of isolation because there is always a live, responsive DJ (send requests!) in the (very sanitized) studio curating a wide-range of music. I’ve gotten a lot out of listening from my apartment this past week.

If you are able, please support CHIRP—and other arts and cultural organizations—in this very uncertain time. They are so important, and this all hurts. $10 really helps.

I’ll be there DJ’ing on Saturday, March 28 from 4-6 p.m CST. If you donate, please be sure to let me know if you have a request. Thanks so much!
