Listen "A challenging moment"
Episode Synopsis
We'll get back to our usual stories in short order — a couple good ones coming later this week, in fact. But this episode is all about us. You've probably heard that Congress voted to take back federal funding already promised to public broadcasting. For Interlochen Public Radio, it's a $300,000 budget hit. Still, IPR Executive Director Peter Payette says despite the bad news for our federal funding, and the very real challenges ahead, he's optimistic about IPR's future and its mission to serve northern Michigan with news and music.
