Tell Somebody with Bob McChesney.





Professor Robert McChesney came on the phone and the KKFI airwaves Tuesday to help out with the pledge drive and the podcast of that show has been posted.  On the show, McChesney said, "I do think it's imperative right now that those of you who are listening to this show understand that the conversation that Tom and I are having right now, you're not going to be able to hear on any other radio station in Kansas City - it's just not out there.  And it's not going to be heard on more than a handful of stations in the midwest."  He went on to say that the sort of conversation we were having is imperative to understanding what is going on in the world, and that it was therefore imperative that you that you donate what you can to support KKFI.

The pledge drive is still on as I post this.  You can call 888-931-0901 to make a donation while the drive continues, or click on the donate button at http://www.kkfi.org/ anytime, day or night.
