Drifter In The Dark

28/04/2024

No new show tonight but you can listen to last week’s show, available now online at UMFM.com and in Apple Podcast (Spotify version coming soon). I was so focused on not messing up my first live show in forever that I completely forgot to mention it was my 600th episode! Crazy how time flies.

A huge thank you is also in order for everyone who made a pledge to the station for this year’s Pledge-O-Rama. We raised $37,135.61, which is well above our goal of $28,000! You guys rock!

Back with show #601 next week!

I’m a bit late with this but I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention Pledge-o-Rama 2024. It’s back! Our last pledge drive was in 2019 which honestly feels like a lifetime ago given everything that happened after.

As per usual with the event, there are a ton of great incentives.

This year’s goal is $28,000!

I’ll be live at the station tonight at 9 PM CDT playing some great music (as per usual) and taking your pledges!

You can also donate online, or if you prefer the old school method, fill out the paper pledge form!

Check out the website for all of the details!

If you make a pledge after seeing this post or listening to the show I would be forever grateful if you select Drifter In The Dark as the show (or one of) the shows you’re supporting!
