“I like WBHM because NPR has been a fixture of my life ever since I was a kid, really really little. So, now NPR is kind of grown with me. It’s very relevant to me as an adult for the news coverage the civil debates. And I think having a source for reliable and responsible journalism is more important now than ever.”

“I like 1-A a lot because I think it’s an excellent replacement for the Diane Rehm Show and that it has a very civil debate. They bring in experts from different fields that are different ends of the spectrum as far as opinions go but it always is pretty enlightening and I learn something from all sides of the argument.”

“I figured I’m already paying for multiple streaming services for music and movies. So, I decided I needed to support WBHM which I listened to every day and I feel really good about it.”
