Hello listeners to The Glowing Dial Live with Big John and Company and The Glowing Dial with Big John and Steve. I want to announce our 2 Fundraising events, one going on now and the other in a few weeks.
We are doing these Fundraisers because we desperately need funds for a new computer, audio board, other equipment as well as funds to pay internet each month and other monthly costs we incur here at The Glowing Dial Networks.
The first one is our PayPal Fundraiser and it only has 9 days left! Please donate what you are able to in the remaining 9 days! The address for the PayPal Fundraiser is: https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/8H1tpA08Bn .
The second Fundraiser is the big one! It is an 83 hour non-stop Radiothon to raise the much needed funds for The Glowing Dial Live to continue. We have special Live guests lined up like Martin Grams, Bobb Lynes, Kathryn Fuller-Seeley, Jayne Weiss, Donnie Pitchford, Garry Berman, Nick Parisi, Perry Huntoon, Steve "Archive" Urbaniak, Laura Leibowitz, Zach Eastman and a few more in the works! We'll also have many special items to entice you to donate. We have autographed books, special downloads of special and rare programming from Yesterday USA, chances for you to become a radio star, help for you to start your very own podcast, help making a commercial that will run on our stations and more!
The Marathon starts at 5pm Eastern on Yesterday USA Blue and will be on the Blue the whole time. It will also be on Yesterday USA Red at various times to be listed closer to the Marathon. The various times on the Red are so that we do not interrupt several recorded shows which have regular time slots at those various times.
The website (still under construction) is: https://glowingdial.com/marathon/ .
Yesterday USA Radio can be found at http://yesterdayusa.net .
I will also be relaying the Marathon Live on my radio station The Jack Benny Celebration, http://www.eternallythirtynine.com .
Please visit both Fundraisers and donate what you can. Values are listed for the special items on offer but feel free to donate more than the value, after-all I have to pay postage on all the books!
Thanks in advance and please pass this along to your old time radio friends who may not be on this list.
See you on the radio,
