Purtan Podcast #30: The Most Important Podcast I'll Do All Year... | Today I welcome Dale Johnson to the table to discuss the Salvation Army Bed & Bread Club Radiothon coming up next Friday, February 24th. The 16-Hour live broadcast has become the biggest one-day/single station Radiothon in the country. I began it 25 years ago... and to date we've raised over $25 million dollars to feed the neediest men, women and children in the most impoverished areas of Metro-Detroit. This year I'm coming out of retirement to sit down behind the mic along with "Purtan's People", for the Radiothon which can be heard on 760 WJR and will be streamed live on WJR.com. To donate to this vital program, which feeds 5000 people a day, 365 days a year, call 1-248-258-0760 or go to WJR.com. And to find out how your donation can literally change lives... listen to today's Podcast with the Salvation Army's Dale Johnson. | Free | View In iTunes |
