STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Georgia teacher Bill McAllister hasn't seen his students in the classroom for nearly two months, so he's decided to visit them one by one. McAllister told FOX 5 Atlanta he's running six to eight miles every day from one student's house to the next. His goal is to greet each student from a proper social distance outside. If he makes it to each house, he will rack up more than 50 miles in all of extra credit. 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.
