Good morning. I'm David Greene.

GARTH BROOKS: (Singing) Sometimes I thank God.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

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.
