The Daily Whatever Show, Sept 21: Our End of Summer Pledge Drive Four-hour Marathon

Friends, that was one EPIC The Daily Whatever Show. PHEW!!

Over 4.5 hours, we had 13 guests, 542 attendees, at least eight replays of “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire, and most of all—an infinite supply of joy.

We’re ending the day with 117 paid subscribers, exceeding our goal.

We’re so happy and grateful. And tired.

Thank you, thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.

Thanks to a technical glitch—okay, it was us, not checking the calendar—summer technically ends on Sept 22 at 2:19pm ET, not on Sept 21. So we’ve extended the pledge drive for one more day. Because we’re perfectionist completionists like that.

After the 22nd, these deep discount go away.

So you know what to do…

• Subscribe to genXy for $20/year.

• Subscribe to Dana DuBois Writes for $1/year.

• Subscribe to Lawrence Winnerman for $1/year.

We now head into colder, darker months with a spark of hope from everyone in this community. We hope you can feel it, too.

Special thanks to our amazing guests today for your time, wisdom, and kind words:

HUGE thanks to…
