Description

When Congress pulled federal funding from public media in July 2025, it eliminated 15-30% of station budgets overnight. Alex Curley, founder of Semipublic, joins to break down what happened, what's next, and how his Adopt a Station platform is pairing supporters with stations in crisis. 

Plus: Why GM killing CarPlay proves we never learn from our mistakes, and a lesson about vanishing careers that hits a little too close to home for John.

Guest: Alex Curley (Semipublic, Adopt a Station)
