3 new podcasts in 2 weeks – including our new ’60 seconds on …’ series
New podcasts: We released interviews with Pawel Rudzki (Netherlands) and Yiran Zhang (USA) in the last couple of weeks. And, a new podcast series, which we started four days ago.
60 seconds on …: Our newest podcast idea picked up 250 downloads in the first 24 hours online. It generated a lot of positive feedback. Here’s a sample:
– “Very helpful – will share.” (UK)
– “Good.” (Denmark)
– “Glad to see the good work continues and expands.” – Dan La Botz (USA).
– “Congratulations for all these actions you undertake. Keep going.” – Mark Vanderveken.
– “Stand together in Solidarity! He stood up for us! Now we stand up for him! Free this man!!!” (Vancouver, Canada)
-“The podcast is a good idea!” (Israel)
-“I liked the voicemail – keep it up.” – Iain MacLean (UK).
New campaigns: We’ve had a request for a new campaign in Turkey and another one in the Philippines. Details coming soon.
“Which campaigns have I supported?”: This script was last used a long time ago, but it’s an excellent way for our subscribers to see which campaigns they’ve supported and which ones they’ve missed. We revived this for English and Norwegian mailings this week and it has resulted in a boost for some of the older campaigns.
New correspondents: We picked up another new correspondent in Nigeria this week.
Mailing lists: We added 33 new subscribers a week ago (half of them in Dutch).
Donations: We picked up a number of new donations, including a very generous one from a Canadian union.
New way to donate: We’ve added a new way to donate to our account at Zempler Bank — the information appears on our regular donations page in English. We need alternatives to PayPal, which is problematic for many of our supporters.
