Here to remind you that KMUW is in the midst of this audio spectacular known as the membership drive. Now everybody knows that KMUW membership drives are the best. The best way that is to communicate how important members are. Members let KMUW provide outstanding public radio programming. When you turn on your radio, we can't trace you the way we can trace a phone call nor do we charge you outright the way cable television does. The best way to communicate with you is by our airwaves. Now, one way to lessen the amount of time we spend asking for support is for more people to become supporting members. If you've already done your part, please encourage a friend or a family member to call KMUW with a pledge or make an additional gift to help out just a little bit more. You can make on air member drives the best and the most efficient way of raising funds for KMUW by acting now. Please call, become a member or make an additional gift today.

And thanks so much. I'm Bob Edwards, your host for Morning Edition every weekday here on KMUW. For a lot of folks, this is the time to put the work day behind you. Time to settle down with a good book, hot drink and soothing sounds. We provide all those soothing sounds all week long, all year long. We're here for you because of the support of many station members who have been with us in the past. Over the years, some of our best supporters drift away or move out of the area. That's why it's more important than ever that you call KMUW at 978-6700 with your pledge. Make one more phone call before you settle into your chair and then relax with that good book or hot drink and soothing sounds of KMUW. Don't forget, it's your pledge that keeps KMUW going. That number is 978-6700. Hi, this is Scott Simon, your host for Weekend Edition Saturday right here on KMUW FM89. I hope you know by now that your donation to KMUW provides you with a year's worth of music,

in-depth news, arts and culture, commentary, reviews and specialty programs. You get classical jazz and folk music along with morning edition. All things considered for a share of car talk, Weekend Edition, Saturday and Sunday and so much more. A pledge of $60 is probably a lot less than what you might spend on a subscription to a daily newspaper or a cable television or what you might spend for a night on town or even for a cup of coffee day after day. So think of the great value you receive from that $60 investment in KMUW. Call FM89 right now at 978-6700 to pledge your support. It's the best investment you'll make today. Hello, I'm Linda Worthheimer from NPR. During this membership drive, we're celebrating how lucky we are to have public radio.

Well, I don't usually talk about it, but I suffer from a rare and frightening disease.
