Yes, I know - the easiest thing in the world is to come up with “lists” of things at the end of the year. Best movies, best shows, and of course best music.  

But here’s the thing: Everyone loves them! I love them because I never have the time to dig through all of the music that’s out there in the world.  That’s why we turn to our friend Anthony Fantano - host of The Needle Drop.  It’s a wildly successful music blog, YouTube channel and radio show which you can hear on WNPR 10pm Saturday nights, and around the country via PRX.

He’s become one of the go-to music reviewers in the country - and his audience is around the world.  Now he’s back with some of his favorite music. We'll also be joined by Daphne Lee Martin, musician and co-owner of The Telegraph in New London. 

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.
