Who Doesn't Do Fund Raising
Before the internet, jobs were done for pay. Media products were sold at a price.
Because everything is free or cheap in the digital realm everything from the New York Times to an electric train club are hobbies or hopeful start-ups.
To use a word... beggars. It's pan-handle city on most web sites.
We can't provide this wonderful thing unless you send at least a dollar.
Work at home. Lose your home. Work out of a coffee house or library.
Except KDX Worldround Radio. We are the only website in the universe that doesn't even have a funding mechanism. No Pay Pal, no credit cards, no checks or money orders. We can't afford shoes or gasoline but we are not beggars. But we aren't unreasonable.
The following announcement may soon be heard on the station:
This broadcast is brought to you in part by unsought donations. Unlike other cultural educational radio stations, KDX does not beg for money. Instead, we act like we don't need it. But some listeners are so pleased by our amazing programs they somehow manage to find us and go to great lengths to hand over fist-fulls of cash. Rather than throwing the cash to the floor and demanding to be left alone, we pretend to be very grateful in accepting the cash. If you're willing to go to such lengths to force money on us the least we can do is just that.
