"I love Wyoming Public Radio because it connects me to my community, my state, my nation, and the world. I am a news and culture junkie and believe that strong democracy requires well-informed and empathetic citizens who continuously educate themselves about the broader cultural forces that shape our society. Wyoming Public Radio is my go-to source for the information I need to be one of those citizens."
Shannon Smith
, Executive Director, Wyoming Humanities Council

"Fall fund drive is right around the corner, and WPM has a wish. We wish that Wyomingites who regularly listen to WPM without pledging get truly inspired this year to make a pledge and join their fellow listeners in supporting their public radio station. It’s every GM’s wish, but it doesn’t get fulfilled -- at least not totally! Nationally only 1 of 10 listeners pledge their financial support to their public radio service. In Wyoming, it’s slightly better – 1.5 of 10 listeners are supporting members of WPM. This year, in fiscally challenged Wyoming, this number will have to change. Like most state entities, WPM experienced cuts that will affect our services. Fortunately, this situation can be largely alleviated. A small donation by many people who appreciate having public radio in Wyoming will go a long way to bridge the fiscal gaps. Remember – it doesn’t take much money to support public radio, it just takes many dedicated individuals. If you have never pledged, try it. It can be transformational! It makes everything you hear on the radio or access online or on your iPhone possible!"
