Alec Baldwin Says Don't Give.

Alec Baldwin doesn't want you to pledge...or does he? How much do you need to pledge for Robert Siegel to bake you cookies?

What would you do if Nina Totenberg was reassigned to sports, or Terry Gross to Wine Fancy, or Ira Glass to a Spanish pop station? Trust us, listen to these hilarious fundraising spots produced by WNYC and Ira Glass, and learn why you don't want that to happen!

We think you'll feel inspired to make a pledge, so we'll make that easy for you, too. Here's the link, and thanks for keeping VPR's news, music, and humor on the air!

This American Life Tickets and Ira Glass Glasses

Time is running out to win tickets to the sold-out This American Life show at the Palace 9 theater in South Burlington next Thursday, April 23. The contest ends Friday at 9 a.m., so enter now for your chance to win!

The live stage show will be broadcast live in HD on more than 400 movie screens nationwide. Ira Glass will host the show, of course, joined by some of our favorite contributors, including Dan Savage, Starlee Kine, Mike Birbiglia, David Rakoff, and Dave Hill.

To get the most out of your TAL experience, we suggest making your own Ira Glass glasses. Follow this link to print, cut out, and assemble your own! Then stop by VPR's table at the show to model them for us. In the meantime, check out these pictures of us wearing ours. At left, Michelle Jeffery, Ric Cengeri, and Cheryl Willoughby do their best Ira Glass impression. Below, Jane Lindholm tries Ira's glasses on a surprised Mitch Wertlieb.
