Don't Wait - Pledge Now for the Fall Fund Drive!
 WUOT is an excellent value. You give a little money and you get back 365 days of high-quality news, music and entertainment.
WUOT's Fall Fund Drive is Monday, Oct. 17, through Saturday, Oct. 22, but there's no need to wait until the drive to show your support. Please pledge now and help WUOT continue to air all of your favorite programs like Morning Edition, classical and jazz music, and Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me!
How can you support WUOT now?
It's easy. You can donate online via Visa or MasterCard, or you can mail a check to WUOT 209 Communications Bldg., Knoxville, TN 37996-0322. If you would like the ease and convenience of monthly automatic payments, then you'll be interested in joining our growing Evergreen Member Club. There are three ways to participate in the club:
- You can sign up to donate via monthly bank draft
- You can give monthly via credit card
- If you are a UT employee, you can donate via payroll deduction. Contact Lisa Beckman at lbeckma1@utk.edu or (865) 974-9558 to get that form.
WUOT is a community public radio station, which means that we couldn't be on the air without the support of the community. We are on the air for you, because of you.
Thanks in advance for your support!

Specials
This fall Radiolab with Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich presents a first ever "Best-of" season.
Radiolab: Where Am I?
You're in your office. You're in New York, or Detroit, or Timbuktu. You're on planet Earth. But where are you, really? This hour, Radiolab examines the bond between brain and body, and looks at what happens when it breaks. Author and neurologist Oliver Sacks tries to find himself using magnets, we talk to a neuroscientist who uses an optical illusion to solve a century-old mystery that haunts some amputees, and pilots describe surviving out-of-body experiences while flying fighter jets.
Friday, October 28, at 12 p.m.
