You bet it is! So many of you already back artists, podcasts and the like via Patreon.

An all-star collection of WPRB DJs will be manning the phones to take your pledges. It is thrilling, infectious radio.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">I\u2019ll have amazing prize packages to give away each hour (look for a full list early next week once it is finalized), including my personal copy of an out-of-print Superchunk 45.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">That\u2019s on top of the incredible WPRB-branded stickers, metal pins, slipmats, totes, shirts and other \u201cthank you\u201d gifts available starting at a $15 donation level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: small;\">ALL PLEDGES ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Thank you in advance for your support of WPRB\u2019s unique freeform programming during this year\u2019s drive.
