You may have heard Alec Baldwin's plea during recent public radio pledge drives. He has a simple message for listeners:

Baldwin's other promos include reassigning Terry Gross to "Wine Fancy," making Scott Simon a traffic reporter, and putting Ira Glass on a Spanish pop station.

Mark Brush was the station's Digital Media Director. He succumbed to a year-long battle with glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer, in March 2018. He was 49 years old.
