A Personal Note from Mark

Global Dispatches is entering a new era—and I need your help to keep it going. For years, I've been able to produce this show thanks to institutional support, especially from the UN Foundation, which has backed my work for two decades. But due to recent funding cuts, that support is ending, and I now need to raise $140,000 to keep the show going at current levels. If this podcast has helped you make sense of the world, informed your work, or simply earned your trust, please consider becoming a paying subscriber. Most episodes are free, but they're not free to make. You can support at full price—or with a 20% or 40% discount. All subscribers get access to our sister podcast To Save Us From Hell, my essays, and the full 13-year archive. And if you join based on this pitch, I'll mail you a Global Dispatches sticker as a thank-you. https://www.globaldispatches.org/  https://www.globaldispatches.org/20PercentOff  https://www.globaldispatches.org/40PercentOff
