    15 Reasons To Donate To Public Radio

    It's that time of year again... it's your favorite public radio station's fund drive! And these are some of the reasons to donate for the "programming you love."

    1. You REALLY want that new NPR mug.

    ...or the new public radio tote

    ...or that sweet hoodie designed by a local artist.

    2. Ira Glass is coming to town and you need that selfie.

    3. It's where you discover all of your favorite new bands.

    4. It keeps your dog company while you're at work.

    5. It's a tax write-off.

    6. Your favorite celebrities are all about it.

    7. It's the cool thing to do. Duh.

    8. Because you definitely don't want to be this guy...

    9. You want to see if they can pronounce your name on-air.

    10. They are excellent at guilt trips.

    11. And you're tired of hearing your favorite hosts beg.

    12. You can't deny that you've had your fair share of driveway moments.

    13. ...especially since you're never interrupted by this.

    14. A Buzzfeed list gently reminded you that your station's fund drive is coming up.

    15. Or maybe you donated simply because you LOVE your local public radio station!
