  • disingenuous fundraising

    Bird Note’s recent fundraising attempts to leverage the demise of the CPB is so distasteful that I’ve unsubscribed. Bird Note is not losing funding because of federal cuts; their attempts to raise funds, as though they are, are shameful and offend me.

    I’ve enjoyed the content and had been listening from the early days, when it was still a radio show cre... more
