“Do not pledge to Public Radio”
I will admit, he's my favorite character on "30 Rock".
If you’ve been listening to WAMU 88.5 FM, you know that today is the fourth day of the Fall Membership campaign– in fact, as I type this, The Kojo Nnamdi show is taking a break to ask for your support.
While NPR stars like Scott Simon remind you that your support powers stations like WAMU, you may have also heard Alec Baldwin, star of “3o Rock“, exhort you NOT to pledge to public radio. We’ve been airing Baldwin’s hilarious segments periodically, but if you missed them, you can find them all here. There are a total of five recordings, including a tribute to Glenngarry Glenn Ross (“Coffee is for PLEDGERS”).
You can support WAMU online here, or by calling (202) 885-8850.
