$500 for English oak trees.


This is 'The $500,000 Answering Machine' — a raw, unfiltered feed of real-time voicemails being left by 1,000 grantees of a crazy, weird social experiment called Drop Dead Generous.


No interviews. No scripts. Just true stories from all over the world, told by people given $500USD to pay-it-forward as outrageously as they can.
