A MARTINEZ, HOST:

Good morning. I'm A Martinez.

If you're in the market for a house, how about this? - 20,000 square feet, outside of St. Louis. It comes with amenities - swimming pool, big yard, movie theater, bowling alley, stables - wait, there's more - a Ferris wheel, a lazy river and secret tunnels. They're asking 20 million - a bit high, perhaps. But think about all the vacation destinations you will not need to spend money on because they're already in your backyard.

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.
