However, this particular program provided topics that no one else is sharing on FM Radio while weaving in our pledge pitches. And we made our goal. So, it's also a great reminder that we count on listener support to stay on the air to continue to bring you writers, scholars, activists, other artists and mover and shakers who are making a difference for our community. I was also thrilled to give a shout out to the students, faculty, and staff at Jersey Village High School. I had the pleasure of visiting their ESL classes under the leadership of the brilliant Kim-Ling Sun. It was edifying to get to convene with such intelligent and motivated youth.
