Homelessness Marathon blog
Description:
Homelessness Marathon banner by Jeff RountreeThis blog has been set up as an informational as well as interactive resource for the Annual Homelessness Marathon. Additional information can be found at the Homelessness Marathon's web site. Let us hear from you.
What is the Homelessness Marathon?:
It is a 14 hour radio broadcast featuring the voices and stories of homeless people from around the U.S. The Homelessness Marathon features live call-ins all night long via a national toll-free number. The Homelessness Marathon is available for free to all non-commercial stations.
Where Does it Happen?:
Everywhere. But you can participate by tuning into a station in your area. Or listen online. Streaming audio will be available.

Well, I guess I got to this a little late. I am only now noticing it. I will post something on the Marathon's website about our finances (though maybe not tomorrow). To make a long story short, I personally, have never been paid a dime for my 13 years of work on the Marathon. For the first ten years, neither was anyone else, though I have now started giving our most dedicated personnel $250, just to partially compensate them for the money they lose working on the broadcast. I may raise that to $500. And we pay $10 an hour for a limited amount of miscellaneous labor and clerical work.
