It's Pledge Time at WNYC
Just when you thought it was safe to put your wallet awayoh, ohit’s pledge time at WNYC. Steve Post is on the case with his repertoire of time-honored fundraising techniques: puling, mewling, whimpering, whining, and general self-abasement. (Caution: Not for all tastes, but if you enjoy the suffering of others – and which of us does not? – this is don’t-miss radio.) The music is a form of extortion.
