Gimme Some Money!

On Handful of Brains (originally aired April 9, 2019, 7- 9 PM WRIR 97.3 fm Richmond Independent Radio): It’s the Spring Fund Drive and I'm asking you to help support all the great music and news shows that we bring to the #RVA community. To get you in the mood to donate, we’ll be playing a bunch of songs about money and some other songs too. Playing songs. It's what we do.

Being part of the station really means a lot to me. Going in and doing my show is a form of mental, and sometimes physical (gotta dance!), therapy. It also makes me feel like I'm a part of a really cool community of amazingly talented and smart people who do radio because they love it and want to make RVA a better place to live. We are all volunteers. No one gets paid, so all your donations support the physical needs of maintaining station and our programming.

For $10/month or $60/one time, you get the limited edition WRIR Spring Fund Drive t-shirt. You can check that out and our other premiums (if you want to give more!) at wrir.org/donate. But you can give any amount at all. It all helps!

It's never too late to donate. You can donate at wrir.org (click the big red “DONATE” button). Thanks to all of you for listening and supporting me and the station!
