Pledge to WFMU this October

WFMU faces a terrifying challenge and we need your support! Nachum Segal and JM in the AM are moving on: we’ll lose their supporters, but we’ll gain back the most prime slot on the radio. Help us make our goal by midnight on Halloween night! Make a pledge of any amount to WFMU and enter your pet into our mascot contest (check out last year’s contestants here)! Be sure to tell us your pet’s name in the pledge comments, and upload a photo of your pet here. Don’t miss out on the new swag, including our Typographic Critters T-shirt and Malevolent Bunny T-shirt (DJ Premiums and Prize Warehouse items up for grabs as well)!
