DAVID GREENE, HOST:

Good morning. I'm David Greene. We're all coming up with creative ways to get essential items in this time of social distancing. And sometimes, that essential item is pizza. Some pizza companies are offering contactless delivery when you order online. Tracey Spears in Park Hills, Mo., has come up with a creative way to take advantage. She has created a pulley system, lowering a box out of her second-story apartment window. She posted a video on TikTok hoisting up her pizza from there. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

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.
