RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin. It's down to 12. The National Toy Hall of Fame has announced a list of a dozen finalists to be inducted into its hallowed registry. The list captures a wide range. There's My Little Pony, Jenga, Care Bears, Masters of the Universe and the most basic of toys, the spinning top. On the other side of the spectrum, the smartphone. An official with the Strong National Museum of Play said the finalists all inspire learning and creativity. Not sure about you, but I'm pulling for the top.

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.
