Dear Wind Listeners. It’s the off season right now; currently working on Year 6 but I’m here to ask for a quick favor, and then play a guest episode from one of my favorite podcasts, Future Ecologies.
In this algorithmic big-tech world, it can be very difficult to find new listeners. For the last 5 years one of the ways I’ve been trying to reach new people is by turning to public radio. In addition to this long-form podcast here in the feed, I also make a 2-minute segment specifically for public radio. It’s called "Postcards from The Wind" and it airs on 7 stations now across the US, including on my home station KUNR in Reno. BUT, I’d really like to get Postcards on more stations, and that is where you come in.
I’m asking Wind Listeners to reach out to your local public radio station and request that they air Postcards from The Wind. If you’re up for helpin’ out with that, I will send a Wind Listener Patch and sticker as a thank you. Here’s how it works:
1. Email me: fil (at) thewind (dot) org
2. Use subject line “listener”, and include your mailing address.
3. I’ll send an envelope with a pre-stamped postcard and a form note to copy, plus a Wind patch + sticker enclosed. You will then copy that short form letter by hand, or write your own and address it to your local station.
4. Then drop the postcard in the mail.
That’s it. So if you’re up for helping out, send your mailing address to Fil AT thewind DOT ORG subject line listener.
