Donor Stories

Mary Helen

Mary Helen M. – St. Simons Island, GA

I’m a semi-retired attorney who works from home. During the day, I have GPB playing on my smart speaker. I watch PBS Newshour almost every weekday, and something from Passport almost every evening. I have so appreciated GPB before and during the pandemic – familiar voices and faces that provided me with news, hope, and humor. Thank you!

Debbie

Debbie K. – Warner Robins, GA

We begin our day with GPB radio, and listen, off and on, throughout the day and evening. My car radio is also tuned to 89.7FM. Your programs are a vital part of our family’s daily life and education! We don’t watch much television, but when we do, we turn first to GPB. We appreciate you and feel honored to support the vital service GPB provides!
