Dear friend,

I hope you saw the message below from CapRadio’s Director of Podcasts, Sally Schilling. As we near the final hours of our on-air fundraising efforts, we still need new members to start their support of CapRadio. It is through the support of our members that we can deliver trusted news, reliable information, impactful storytelling and inspiring music to our community.

Regardless of size, every gift helps sustain the work we do. Together, they help empower us to overcome the unique financial challenges that we — and public media across the nation — are experiencing with a decline in individual giving.

When you start your commitment to public radio today you have the option of choosing a special thank-you gift that is exclusive to new and renewing members and comes with some pretty great perks for NPR fans. With NPR+ you can access bonus content, ad-free episodes and extras from nearly a dozen NPR podcasts, including The NPR Politics Podcast, Short Wave and Embedded.

By starting your support today you’re making an investment in your community and helping to secure the future of CapRadio. That’s because public media is one of the last bastions of independent local media that serves the community. Help protect the gift of public media for your community now, and for generations to come.

If you believe that CapRadio is an invaluable resource for you and your community, now is the time to support what matters to you.

Dear friend,

CapRadio and NPR are committed to creating a more informed public that has a deeper understanding and appreciation of events, ideas and cultures. And it is the support of our members that powers our commitment to public service and keeps these services free and accessible for all. Unfortunately, funding our work has been more challenging than ever as radio audiences dwindle and membership support slows down.

Every single gift matters when it comes to keeping our local, independent public services available in your community. Now is the time to start your support of CapRadio to help ensure that we remain a reliable, valued source of news, information and entertainment for years to come. Starting a gift today will give you early access to the NPR+ podcast bundle.

This special member benefit includes bonus episodes and sponsor-free listening for some of NPR's most popular podcasts. This means you can enjoy listening to shows like Snap Judgment or Code Switch without any sponsor breaks, and even access exclusive bonus episodes and behind-the-scenes content for shows like Planet Money and Wait Wait… Don't Tell Me.

When you start your support and choose the NPR+ podcast bundle, your entire donation goes towards protecting the future of vital news, music and storytelling for your community without a paywall.

Thank you for investing in the future of your community.
