It’s that time of year. The time of year when KCRW has their pledge drive and most of us tune around the dial for something else to listen to during the pledge breaks.

With the economy tightening and people rightfully reigning in excess spending, I suspect that it will be tougher than usual for KCRW to raise funds.

I, for one, treasure Good Food. My wife and I listen religiously to the podcast while we drive around town or on road trips. Evan Kleiman’s potpourri of fascinating guests and special segments along with Laura Avery’s (farmers) Market Report are a local treasure and something very special for us to all enjoy. Evan has often reached out and pulled in guests who are part of our local foodblogging community as well.

Admittedly, I have let my KCRW subscription lapse over the past couple of years. This pledge drive I am resubscribing and I am asking our friends and readers to do the same with whatever they can muster in support.

I reached out to Evan Kleiman and her team to help impress upon our readers, and the readers of other food blogs, the need for support this year. In response, the Good Food crew have created this video message:

If you are able and if you are interested, please help support Good Food and the other programming on KCRW by going to kcrw.com/join or calling 1-800-600-KCRW and giving what you can. If you listen during the pledge drive, you can also take advantage of additional premiums on top of the Fringe Benefits Card

Finally, if you have a blog of your own, please considering grabbing this video (embed code available here, or in the video above) and spreading the message to your own readers.

These bloggers have also joined in spreading the word (let me know if you have posted something):

• Mattbites
• The Kitchn
• Sippity Sup
• Taste of Pace

Thanks!
