A sound montage of some of the voices in this past week's news, including Wednesday's earthquake as heard on the 51st floor of a Seattle office building; Washington state Governor Gary Locke (Democrat); Britain's Chief Veterinarian Jim Scudamore and Dutch parliamentarian Jan Mulder; US Secretary of State Colin Powell and Kuwaiti political analyst Abdullah Shayze; Hilary Rosen, president of the Recording Industry Association of America, and Hank Barry, CEO of Napster; President George W. Bush and Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle (Democrat, South Dakota).

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
