Hi this is Katya Rogers, executive producer of On the Media. Careful listeners — the ones who stay all the way through to the credits at the end of the show — will have heard Brooke mention that I was sick a couple of weeks ago.

I had a comparatively mild case of COVID-19 and was off work for a bit. I’m fine now and I’m back producing the show. But something happened when I was sick — I became a listener. Like you guys.

For three weeks I looked forward to Friday night when I knew I would hear the voices of my colleagues (and friends) distill the essential themes of the week. Actually, I didn’t just look forward to it, I needed it. I felt overwhelmed and saddened by so much of what was happening around me — and to me. What I wanted was to be able to step back and take a breath — a deep inhalation and an exhalation. That’s what listening to On the Media was for me during those weeks.

The team is working so hard to bring the show to you every week, and now comes the part where we ask you to do some work for us. So many people are facing dire financial circumstances right now that we totally get if you need to sit this one out. We got you.

For everyone else, its more essential than ever that you dig deep and donate whatever you can to help us make On the Media.

Stay safe everyone, and thank you so much.
