A Friendly PSA: Support Citations Needed, Win Some Merch!

Citations Needed is now in its sixth season. Over the past five years, we've dropped 170 episodes and over 125 news briefs. We've been joined by hundreds of amazing guests. We've done live shows, AMAs, newsletters and special interviews. Our small team does all the research, writing, recording, editing, pre-production, production, post-production, transcription, promotion and distribution. We love doing the show and we have more great episodes on the way.

But first, we're doing our first PBS-style fundraiser, tote bags and all.

Since we started, we've always been listener-supported. We've never run ads or had corporate sponsors. It's the way we want it - to stay totally independent. And for that, we rely on you, our listeners, fans and supporters.

So, it's finally fundraiser time.

Go to patreon.com/citationsneededpodcast to support the show.

Next week, new and current supporters will be in the running for official Citations Needed swag - mugs, tote bags, t-shirts and sweatshirts - and nine lucky folks will get copies of recent pod guest Brandi Collins-Dexter's new book, "Black Skinhead: Reflections on Blackness and Our Political Future."

But you have to be a subscriber to win stuff! Sign up to support the show by 12am on Monday, October 24 to be eligible.

Thanks for all your support. We can't do this without you.
