A MARTÍNEZ, HOST:

Good morning. I'm A Martínez. How much money does someone need to spend to buy the special edition of Bob Dylan's new book? The answer, my friend, is 600 bucks, which explains why some people were angry to find out their hand-signed copies were not individually signed by Dylan as advertised. They're pen replicas of his signature. Publisher Simon & Schuster apologized, offered refunds. But how could this happen? The answer, my friend, is, well, you know. 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.
