KALW News ‘great pledge smackdown’ (oh my!)

A note from our friends at KALW News:

KALW’s Crosscurrents is hosting the “great pledge smackdown” beginning on Monday from 5 to 6 p.m. on 91.7 F

We are outsourcing our membership drive and pitting two celebrity guests against each other to see who can get the most listeners to become members. In one corner, the venerable Bob Edwards, pioneer of public radio, the voice of NPR’s Morning Edition for 24 years.

He faces off against the upstart Glynn Washington, winner of the Public Radio Talent Quest and host of NPR’s Snap Judgement. Glynn says he plans to kick Bob Edwards’ ass. He knows he’s the underdog in this epic battle, but he’s fearless: “Goliath betta watch his back, cause they call me the Giantslayer! My slingshot’s got ‘Bob Edwards’ carved into the handle …”

We are hoping to bring you the most fun pledge drive ever!
