STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. For many people, the smell of bacon is one of the joys of the morning. But why limit it to the morning or to the kitchen? Bacon-maker Hormel wants you to enjoy it always, so they've come out with a limited supply of bacon-scented face masks (laughter). They call it Breathable Bacon, featuring the latest in pork-scented technology. Each mask is also decorated with pictures of bacon, so anybody who sees you will know where that smell comes from. It's MORNING EDITION. 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.
