Those who pledge
There is strength in pledging.

You make the difference.
 

We say that all the time, but what do we mean by it?

YOU are the reason we broadcast. I hope that the music programming is unlike anything else on the airwaves. EclecTopia is decidedly different and your support has kept it in production for six years.

EclecTopians unite! It's time for us to pledge and be counted.
If you make a pledge of $120, we can send you a box of delicious chocolates by Holl's. he chocolates will only last as long as your self-restraint, so what else are you getting for your pledge?

 
 1. Eclectopia for 52 weeks a year. That's a $1.92 a show! That's barely a pack of gum these days.

You are the public in public radio and the reason that I produce EclecTopia every week. EclecTopia is a unique show in the realm of public radio. There is a phrase that you hear in the business: risk aversion. It means playing it safe so that you generate a large audience or you don't alienate your previous one. EclecTopia is not afraid to play artists no one has ever heard of nor artists who express themselves so uniquely that they are not 'mainstream.' This is not about playing it safe, but to share with you artists who are making passionate, articulate, innovative music regardless of their style.


 2. West Virginia Public Radio 24/7 service.
  

Every day WVPR comes to you with news, music and entertainment. We're always here, even in the deep snow. Isn't that dedication worth a pledge?  

  

3. The satisfaction of knowing that you made a difference.  

You support a program, it helps to keep it on the air. It's that simple. EclecTopia has been in production for six years and I feel like we are just getting started. Keep this show coming to you every week. You make all the difference.  

  

4. Gourmet chocolate.  

That says enough. Make a pledge and help us stay strong!
