Oklahoma Places $2.1 Million Bounty On Bigfoot's Head

SCOTT DETROW, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Scott Detrow. Need a quick $2 million? You could try the lottery, maybe invest in Bitcoin or head to Oklahoma and capture Bigfoot. They placed a bounty on Bigfoot's head there - $2.1 million. But some rules - you can't bring Bigfoot in cold. Oklahoma tourism officials hoping this generates some buzz say Bigfoot needs to be captured unharmed and stress bounty hunters can't break any laws during the hunt. Good luck. It's MORNING EDITION.

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.
