<div><strong>THAT THING with Rich Appel</strong> is the weekly radio program that's all about The Best Hits Ever - and The Most Fun Anywhere!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We feature the greatest hits of the 60s, 70s and 80s, with some coloring outside the lines, but we don't stop there. We present this music in what we call <strong>the classic top-down top-40 sound</strong> - with era-matching jingles, classic commercials, special features and an energetic host (that would be me).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>THAT THING</strong> stands out compared to all other weekend programming, by:
</div>
<ul>
<li>creatively matching events, birthdays and holidays on each show date to specific songs...
</li>
<li>offering features like <strong>The World's Shortest Countdown</strong>, <strong>The Slow-Dance Make-Out Song of the Week</strong>, and the occasional song from<strong> the rack in the back o' the shack</strong>.
</li>
<li>airing specials such as our annual <strong>Tele-lection</strong>, where listeners vote for their favorite TV themes, the listener-voted <strong>Classic Top-Down Countdown</strong>, our <strong>Class Reunion </strong>special, <strong>All Summer Songs</strong>...All Summer Long, and lots more every holiday weekend...
</li>
<li>playing the occasional song from "the rack in the back of the shack."
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Other weekly radio shows simply play these great songs, but <strong>THAT THING</strong> goes the extra mile to make our listeners smile, maybe even laugh, as well as sing along and dance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What really counts is what people say about <strong>THAT THING</strong>. You can read what station owners, programmers, talent and, most important, listeners, have said, at <a href="https://www.thatthingshow.com/quotables." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://www.thatthingshow.com/quotables." target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.thatthingshow.com/quotables.</a></a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you haven't yet heard <strong>THAT THING</strong>, we've made that easy, with...
</div>
<ul>
<li>...a 3-minute "crash course" that automatically plays when you visit our website, <a href="https://thatthingshow.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong><a href="http://thatthingshow.com" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://thatthingshow.com</a></strong></a> - where you can also find out everything about the show.
</li>
<li>...a listening guide organized by weekend day, start time and stations, most of which stream our show, at <a href="https://www.thatthingshow.com/listen-guide" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong><a href="https://www.thatthingshow.com/listen-guide" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.thatthingshow.com/listen-guide</a></strong></a>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>So, here's the thing: </strong>
</div>
<div><strong>THAT THING</strong> airs on nearly 80 radio stations worldwide, none of which pay to run it. But I spend plenty to make sure it's a quality program that you'll want to come back to week after week.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To make that happen takes good equipment, an effective website, great jingles, and top-notch distribution. All those help bring <strong>THAT THING</strong> to life every week.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What it also takes is time: not just the time to research, write and record the show, but also to find new stations to carry it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>THAT THING's only source of income is you.</strong> This is why I'm asking your help to keep our show going, so I can continue to entertain listeners worldwide every weekend.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you like <strong>THAT THING</strong> and want to be sure it's there every weekend - as it has been since December 2014 - please consider making a donation of any amount.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support and generosity will make all the difference. In fact, it already has, as <strong>THAT THING</strong> is nationally distributed, with more listeners than ever, with a better sound than ever.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thanks. I'll see you this weekend.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Rich
