These are tough days for independent radio producers. Traditionally, work like ours has been supported by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, but in recent years that funding has been cut. And while pledges made to your local NPR affiliate go to a fantastic cause, independent radio producers don't receive any funding from NPR. In fact, NPR is, in many cases, paying us less for our work than they did ten to fifteen years ago, and too often their payments don't even cover our travel expenses.
This is the primary reason we've produced fewer stories in recent years. This work is who we are – we'll never stop entirely. But it's definitely harder these days to do.
So if you have the means, we would be grateful for your contribution. Donations are tax deductable; Long Haul is an IRS registered 501(c)3 not-for-profit.
If everyone who read this far gave $5, we'd be in pretty great shape! And, you'd totally make our day. Donate via PayPal, or if you prefer, send a snailmail check to
