If all goes according to plan, I’ll be accorded a (probably brief) soundbite later today on the subject of Alice Walton‘s $800-million museum (and that’s just the endowment). It will be part of Marketplace, an American Public Media business show that is heard on
National Public Radio.
In the NYC area, this should air on NPR stations shortly after 6:30 p.m. I’ll post the link and/or embed the audio on CultureGrrl, later this evening, if it’s available.
One CultureGrrl housekeeping note: I send e-mail blasts with links to my posts to two donor lists. One of them (the under-$50 group) isn’t working today, for some unknown reason. I’ve put out a desperate cry for tech support. But for now, if you read this, please check the blog itself for my updates until I manage to get things straightened out (if I can!). Or send me $50 via my “Donate” button and I’ll add you to the still-functioning list. (I swear this is a glitch, not a ploy!) [UPDATE: I ‘ve now found a workaround for this glitch.]
