How do I get the NPR+ podcast bundle?

To get early access to the NPR+ podcast bundle, make a new recurring donation to Illinois Public Media quickly and easily through our NPR+ signup page: will.plus.npr.org.

How does the NPR+ podcast bundle support Illinois Public Media and WILL Radio?

All of your tax-deductible gift – 100%! – goes directly to Illinois Public Media. Your gift ensures we can continue to expand our service to Central Illinois, just like we are through this exciting pilot.

 

I’m already a donor to Illinois Public Media. Do I get access to the NPR+ Podcast Bundle automatically?

At this time, no. During the pilot phase the NPR+ Podcast Bundle is only available by making a new recurring gift through our NPR+ signup page: will.plus.npr.org.

Existing sustaining donors will be able to access the NPR+ Podcast Bundle as a member benefit without making a new gift in the coming months. NPR and Illinois Public Media are working to implement this benefit for qualified sustaining members as quickly as possible. In the meantime, please know that your patience and understanding is greatly appreciated.
