Today's Pledge Drive show, I mean.
It wasn't a success by any means - I am way under my goal*, for example - but seven people called & made pledges & that was nice. Thanks to them - nice folks who are called Brent, Connie, Eric, John, Kara, Lena, & Natasha - & thanks to my friend Carole, who helped out. Listen for her - she's going to be programming music on the radio for the first time in over a decade next week, whether there's a Pledge Drive show or not (let's cross our fingers & hope for not).
& really I still have no idea how to do this Pledge Drive thing properly. What I want is just to do a decent enough radio show that some people might be moved to support the station that gives me the opportunity & freedom to do that. It's too bad that's not enough.
But today? Hell, three months ago I did a show & no one called. This is much better by any metric you want to pick. So I'm going to breathe easy now, wipe away the worries of today, & get to work on this week's SHR.
*Every show has a goal, the amount of money they're supposed to raise per Pledge Drive, to justify their existence. I'd be surprised if I managed to take in a third of what I was supposed to.
