STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. You've heard the story about people who get a free beer with their vaccine. Well, people in Romania got one better. Romanians can get their shot at Castle Bran in Transylvania, also known as Dracula's Castle. This 14th-century fortress was supposedly the source of inspiration for the novel "Dracula." People can get their Pfizer jab, plus free admission to view the castle's collection of medieval torture devices. 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.
