Here’s last night’s story about public media, who it serves, what we can do to counteract the Trump administration’s budget cuts to it, and why the answer is “sell Russell Crowe’s jock strap.” You’ll see. youtu.be/yknMJOgy2pA
Over the years, we have accumulated many, many weird items on this show. Wax presidents, Russell Crowe’s jock strap, even a Bob Ross painting. Now, you can own them. Visit johnoliversjunk.com to bid on items that will help us raise money for The Public Media Bridge Fund!
Our season finale is about the vital role public media plays in the lives of many Americans, how the Trump Administration’s budget cuts could impact those Americans directly, and one small way we’re trying to make a difference. And yes, of course, there is a bidet involved.
If a man said what Megyn Kelly said, you would assume he was a trafficker.

RJK Jr. has done next to nothing to limit microplastics and declined to propose restrictions on ultra-processed foods or pesticides.
The HHS employees want Kennedy gone. Maybe it’s time the MAHA moms got on the bandwagon. trib.al/VmTyfiQ

Explore the canals, types of buildings, and ask yourself and then your Ss how did they create this city? Think about the color palette used. Look up and look down and think about patterns…tile, wall coverings, little bridges. So many applications for art, history, math, and science. #tlap
