About this episode
What counts as media? For us, its any medium through which we express ourselves — whether from one to one, from one to many, or just from one... to one’s own self. We can do it with our style. Our hair. Even our glasses. They're choices that express not just our aesthetics, but our politics, too. And so for this seasonal fundraising effort, we are offering something new. It was the idea of Poppy King , lipstick designer extraordinaire, whose Frog Prince lipstick was last year listed by Elle Australia as one of the most iconic lipstick shades of all time. King's a devoted listener, so, in collaboration with the show, she designed a special lipstick. It's called Well Red and she offered a batch of them to us as a donation so that we can pass them on to you. We are offering these very special lipsticks to you for a donation of $12 a month or $144 for a year's worth of support for this show. If you donate by December 6th, we can guarantee delivery in time for the holidays. Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa? We have your lipstick gifting needs covered. When you get this lipstick as a thank-you gift, you’re checking two important year-end items off your list: you’re supporting OTM to help fund another year of reporting and you’re getting a unique gift for yourself or a loved one. Go to onthemedia.org/donate or text lipstick to 70101. Thank you so much! On the Media is supported by listeners like you. Support OTM by donating today ( https://pledge.wnyc.org/support/otm ).
