Tangential Angels

Tangents has a steadfast community of supporters who have helped keep Tangents on the Bay Area airwaves for 30+ years.

Since 1995 KALW (kalw.org) has been the home for Tangents. All KALW local music programmers are volunteers.

There are significant expenses involved in producing Tangents, such as maintaining Tangents’ unique library and radio production software and equipment. Many of the gems heard on Tangents are discovered at the annual European based WOMEX conference that Dore attends. Airfare, lodging, registration, and cd shipping add up to considerable out of pocket expenses.

Please consider supporting Tangents Radio with a (non-deductible) contribution.

All donations are greatly appreciated and you will be recognized on this page unless you prefer to remain anonymous.
