Too Much Information is the sober hangover after the digital party has run out of memes, apps and schemes. Host Benjamen Walker finds out that, in a world where everyone overshares the truth 140 characters at a time, telling tales might be the most honest thing to do.

@RR1163 I think the WNYE is not at the 91.1 frequency

- My 1st Marathon - !
...One presumably needs a Profile Page to get a heart - but matters not. I'm demographically a bit on the Working Poor side - so I'll be coming in @ the bottom
- but Coming In for WFMU nevertheless - !!!
- What is always said about Listener Supported is that if every Listener actually did *something* - it would add up quite tidily...don't know if that's as true of FMU as NPR - but I'm sure it's relevant...

@RR1163 any and all support for FMU is appreciated :) Profile page is mostly harmless to be honest.
FMU has an amazing supporter base IMO and from what I understand the flake rate on pledges is very low when compared to most stations.

But whether it's a little or a lot it all helps :)

...Point of Wiki is you can jump in & alter it, no?
- altho' perhaps not relevant to y'all
- but that person on previous Show's Comments might have benefited from the info...

sFrances from VA:

BW: as always, the photography books you reference sound divine. Holding off on pledging :( until I get a better grip on employment which could happen this week!

I *did* donate muchly as an unemployed listener during the last fund drive/extending through Sandy...I'm not a total mooch, just a total (broke) fan!

$15 gets you in the running for the Lavender Diamond cd! $75 gets you Benjamen's premium!
Avatar 6:25pm
Danne D:

lol RR1163 this is true, but I'm at work ;o) But the info on there is pretty straight up it seems. Tons of history to the station - really feel like it'd be hard to put it all together to be honest.
Avatar 6:25pm
Danne D:

@RR1163 not sure the listener you mean. There also are FAQs on the FMU home page :)

People give according to what they can - not everyone is in flush circumstances. FMU understands that :) But please give what you can afford to :)

Holly in NC:

@RR1163 -
Every penny counts. And folks get it - everyone's fully aware that a $15 pledge may mean that *you*gave up something equivalent to someone else donating $1500. No aholes here.
Avatar 6:28pm
Danne D:

the station runs on a seriously lean budget and it really really really stretches dollars as best it can - in many cases it's amazing what they are able to do

Matt from Springfield:

@Danne/Holly: How much in $$ does WFMU mean to me? I'd have to win the lottery or strike it rich before I could donate THAT much (same goes to most listeners here!) So until that day, we give what we can!
Avatar 6:33pm
Danne D:

WFMU - sequester free radio. No seriously. WFMU's listener-supported status keeps it free of the kind of petty political squabbles that likely are threatening other stations. But that independence and the strength that goes along with it only happens because of listeners who pledge and donate to WFMU :)

Danne D:

@M_f_S I've already told Ken that if I ever ask him for a private talk in his office it means I hit the lottery and will be writing a check.

...I mean tonight before 6 P.M. on Scott Williams - the subject of FMU History came up for a while...altho' looking @ the Archive Comments now it's hard for me to make out whom you were Replying to precisely - ! I felt I'd learned a good bit from the wiki page *myself*...FAQs - Home Page - interesting...

Matt from Springfield:

HUG us baby, several more times!

@Danne: I look forward to hearing Ken's squeal of delight from here--whether because of you, I, or anyone else! :)

Heading home now, have a great evening! Keep on pledging!
Avatar 6:37pm
Danne D:

If my math is right, WFMU's total budget is around 4% of the total budget of the largest public station in the area (which will remain nameless as that's not the point). The point is WFMU does a lot with a little - but it needs that little to survive :)
Avatar 6:38pm
Danne D:

@RR1163 I don't even consider myself an old hand - there's folks that have been around the station for like 30+ years.

@RR1163 I consider it the luckiest of things that I grew up (and after college stayed) in the area that WFMU's radio range covers.

Holly informd us the other evening her car just had a seizure - & *she's* got a Purple Heart - !
...The Sequester-less nature of FMU is one of the things I learned from the wiki - I'm interested how the FAQs compares for refering/intro'ing other people to WFMU...so will check that...
