Tom and I talk often about the fundraising issues we’re covering on The Agitator and our different “takes” on what’s happening in the donor world. Over the weekend we had a conversation about the economic situation and its impact on fundraising strategy in the coming months. We audio-taped it with the thought you might find our out-loud thinking about the challenge helpful.If you listen, you’ll hear Tom as self-confessed Chicken Little and me as the sage voice of calm and reason!It’s about 20 minutes long … just turn on your volume and click the URL or button below.Please let us know if you find this kind of audio post useful… and how we might improve it. We look forward to your candid feedback.Roger

hey guys, i really enjoyed the audio (chicken little). i am in fundraising, mostly middle donors acquisition and retention. back and forth dialogue is always useful when each person comes from a different perspective. On a techical poit, Rogers audio was much softer than Tom’s. Once those audio features are balanced it would be perfect.
Thumbs up on the broadcast idea.

I liked it. Do it again soon. Very helpful as I am about to start a new short term contract with an organisation that will be struggling with these very issues. Thanks chaps!
