Weekly Recommendation
This week’s recommendation is to support local programming (i.e. NPR, PBS, etc.) that was likely affected by the shutdown of the Center for Public Broadcasting. Public radio and television stations are vital in these times. If you can’t support them, tell a friend or someone about your favorite show, and send them a few of your favorite episodes.
See all the archived weekly recommendations (drinks, plates, causes & more).
