March 19, 2022: Marathon with Trouble


Greetings dear listeners, thanks for your support of WFMU! If you pledge right here, as usual you can request the custom world music cd I've made for everyone who pledges $75 or more. This year's cd is Bagpipipes International.

Of course, if my cd doesn't float your boat you can choose a different DJ's premium (cd or otherwise) instead. (Or if you make a one-time or swag-for-life pledge at higher levels you can choose multiple DJ premiums.) You can see the full list of DJ CD premiums at https://wfmu.org/dj-premiums/.

I’m now in my fourth decade on WFMU! Who’d a thunk it? Perhaps you’ll consider celebrating my radio longevity / commitment / obsession to discovering, learning about and especially sharing far-flung music from around the globe by making a $10 per month (or more) sustaining Swag For Life pledge.

If you do, your cup shall runneth over with WFMU swag EVERY year!

This year for a pledge of $50 or more you get our spanking new Pledge $50 and you can receive the Scary-okee T-Shirt designed by Marc Bell of the band Marmalade Duplex plus a WFMU sticker.



And for a $10 per month swag for life pledge - new or renewing - you'll receive our brand new Stay Tuned Forever T-Shirt designed by H. Faye Kahn.



Bump your monthly Swag For Life pledge to #15 a month (or make a one-time $180 pledge or multiple pledges adding up to $180 or more) and you'll receive our
— WFMU Zoetrope Slipmat designed by Drew Tetz
— 3 DJ Premiums
— Naming Rights to a WFMU Fixture



We love dollar a day Swag For Life pledgers - we call that a "Mouse of Today" pledge. And if you "drop a Mouse" on our show (a $365 one-time pledge or multiple pledges adding up to $365 or more also do the trick) you'll receive tons of swag! Including — the WFMU Play with Your Food Pack featuring an apron, oven mitt, and potholder. — 5 DJ Premiums total

Pledge $500 or $41/mo and you’ll get everything above plus:
— WFMU LP Record Bag with logo designed by Robin Hendrickson
— 10 DJ Premiums total
— 2 Prize Warehouse items



Pledge $1000 or $83/mo and you’ll get everything above plus:
— 15 DJ Premiums total
— 3 Prize Warehouse items Pledge $5000 or $416/mo and you’ll get everything above plus:
— A Customized Automatic Stainless Steel One-of-a-Kind WFMU Watch
— As many DJ Premiums as you want!

But any amount you can pledge is most fabulous and wonderful. And it just takes a $20 pledge to get The Classic Transmitter Bumper Sticker, designed by Bill Graef, AND you’ll get in the running for a prize drawing for one of the great LPs and CDs I’m giving away to lucky pledgers this evening!



What is SWAG FOR LIFE? It's WFMU's sustaining donor program - where we ask you to commit to a small monthly donation and as our thank-you for that commitment, you receive LOTS of swag. Sustaining pledgers are critical to the station's financial health and we are hoping many of you decide to become "Swag For Lifers" this month! It's all explained at https://wfmu.org/swagforlife/.

SEE THE SWAG (what you get at various pledge levels - new sticker, new t-shirts, and lots of other brand new goodies at higher levels) at https://wfmu.org/swag.

And whatever you can pledge to support our very special radio station is so very much appreciated. Thanks soooooo much!
