I hate public radio pledge drives. Who doesn't. Nevertheless, I recognize the need. I hope you'll forgive this low-key request for support for IT Conversations.

IT Conversations is easy to love--free audio that's interesting, relevant, and good quality. Admittedly I'm biased, but I think the popularity of IT Conversations backs this sentiment up.

If you love IT Conversations, take a minute and show it. Here's a couple of ways:

Become a member of the Conversations Network. IT Conversations is part of the Conversations Network, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation and a section 501(c)(3) public charity under the Internal Revenue Code. Creating good programs isn't free and your donations help. They may even be tax deductible!

Help us find sponsors. We're looking for a few good sponsors who can underwrite the cost of producing shows on IT Conversations. If your company is interested in reaching tens of thousands of IT professionals and supporting a unique community asset, please contact Doug Kaye (doug@conversationsnetwork.org).

Finally, even if you're not in a position to help financially can help promote IT Conversations, by linking to us with one of these badges:
