STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. One of the most popular Halloween decorations this fall was a 12-foot skeleton. The skelley (ph) sold out before October, even though they cost 300 bucks. People naturally want to recycle now, which explains why some people are keeping up the giant skeletons. The news website Insider posts photos of skeletons with Christmas lights, presents, ornaments and Santa hats. Any kid who thinks the skeleton is Santa better watch out.

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.
