The World

Recently on The Takeaway we’ve been following people’s credit card stories and following up on the calls that our listeners have made on the subject. One man’s story really caught our ear. Don Merrill, of Salt Lake City, Utah, was frustrated with just one small aspect of his credit card company?they wouldn’t stop sending those convenience checks in the mail and he wanted them to stop. But after a year of trying, he found a way to make them. He joins us now with his tale of victory.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
