    KCRW and KPCC…errr…The Laist (<-- stupidest fucking name change). Feels like they’re always asking for money.

      Oh yes, although it’s usually seasonal, or when they had a budget shortfall (RIP Greater LA).

        For a couple of decades there the pledge drives would start, I’d donate, then not tune in for 2-3 weeks.

      Agree about the name change. They get a monthly pittance from me, it’s not changing although I do think I get good value from them since my alarm radio wakes me up with Morning Edition. But I might look into finding a station in an underserved community to give to.

        I stopped my monthly tithe when my monthly income stopped. I did donate an old motorcycle to them once that ended up being over $2k.
