PBS, NPR and local public radio and television stations around the country are funded in part by a $535 million appropriation provided by Congress through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. But substantial support also comes from nonprofit foundations, corporate dollars, local grants and individual viewer donations. We take a closer look at the complex funding matrix and what the proposed clawback of already appropriated federal dollars could mean for local broadcasters, including WJCT Public Media. We also discuss why WJCT is asking listeners and viewers to continue to support its mission.
Guest:
- David McGowan, president and CEO of WJCT Public Media.
Then, Florida leads the nation in law enforcement partnerships with ICE, a trend that has become a tidal wave since President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

We discuss what’s happening on the ground — and on campus — with the author of a new Mother Jones investigation.
Guest:
- Laura Morel, reporter at Mother Jones.
