Tom Brady called an audible and is not retiring after all

A MARTINEZ, HOST:

Good morning. I'm A Martinez. Ready, set, hut, hut - psych. Tom Brady called an audible - not retiring, after all. And that means someone's half-million bucks just got sacked. That's how much Brady's final touchdown ball went for at auction. But since he's returning to the Bucs next season, the sentimental value of that ball is lost, and likely its monetary value as well. And maybe the lesson here is, don't spend half a million dollars on a football unless it's a gift for me.

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.
