Note from Bernie
In past years I’ve used June as my annual fundraising month for the TCN. Given the impact of COVID-19, I felt that would not be appropriate this year, but I would very much appreciate your help in other ways. None will cost a cent and should take less than a minute to accomplish. They will help raise the profile of both the TCN and my Transportation Radio podcasts.
Let’s start with Transportation Radio. I hope many of you have listened to and enjoyed my interviews with a variety of transport professionals. I’ve tried to combine my broadcasting skills and knowledge of transportation to make them sound professional and be informative and easy to listen to. When you have a moment, please subscribe to and rate the podcast wherever you listen to podcasts. Here are links to two of the most prominent, Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Thank you so much! Please let me know if you have any questions.
