WNPR has an experimental radio project and we want you to get involved. The idea is simple: we provide a theme; you call our hotline and tell a story.

The theme: Retail horror stories!

On December 15, WNPR's Where We Live is doing a show about holiday shopping. If you've worked in retail, we want you to call in and share your worst in-store holiday experience. 

Did you have to deal with angry shoppers? Overcrowded stores? Both?! Call up our voicemail number and leave us a message with your story: (860) 580-9677.

Note: No one will pick up, so you introverts out there don't need to worry about personal interaction. If you mess up, just start over, or call the line and start all over again. The beauties of pre-recorded radio! 

Questions? E-mail lbrown@wnpr.org.

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.
