Dear Listeners: It’s now almost 4 months after we originally posted this, and we REALLY miss hearing from you! Our hosts loved getting your calls, your comments made pledge drives so much more interesting for listeners, and it’s great feedback for us.
We’d like to hear you tell us why you support WORT in your own voice, and then we want to share it with WORT listeners. This is another way for you to make a big difference any time of the year, but especially during pledge drives. It costs nothing but a few moments of your time and is a contribution worth its weight in any currency. (And it feels grrrREAT!!)
1) Call this number:

2) You’ll be asked to leave a message with your first name, where you are calling from, and why you support WORT (or a particular show or genre of shows–it’s totally up to you!)
3) We will be lightly editing the messages–not to make you sound goofy, but just to take out any “umms,” long pauses, personal information (like your phone number) or just in case you swear because something fell on your toe. So, don’t worry about making your message perfect and don’t worry about the length. We’ll trim it if we have to.
4) Spontaneous messages are the best! If you write down word-for-word what you want to say it sounds too scripted, and your own sincere and heartfelt thoughts are much more appealing. Being specific about why you love WORT or a particular show is also appealing. Think about how you’ve described us to your friends, or how you might talk about WORT to anyone you thought would enjoy the station.
5) Don’t be afraid of being too off-the-wall, too “normal,” or whatever. We’re WORT and we welcome hearing about YOUR own unique reasons for supporting community radio.
Thank you!
