Why I Support WBHM: John Mitchell
When John Mitchell had to swap cars with his daughter, he made an unexpected discovery.
“She had [the radio] on WBHM,” says Mitchell.
“The first thing I heard was Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me and I’ve been hooked on it ever since.”
Mitchell doesn’t just listen and support the station, he volunteered to answer phones this spring fund drive. If you call, he might just take your pledge.
“When you see what it takes to produce something like this, it’s such a small amount of money to donate to keep this going,” says Mitchell.
Join him and thousand of other listeners across Alabama by making a gift to WBHM. Pledge now.
