The House of Representatives has approved a White House request to claw back two years of previously approved funding for public media.

The recisions package now moves on to the Senate.

This move poses a serious threat to local stations and public media as we know it.

Please take a stand for public media today at goacpr.org. Thank you.

Hey, before we get to this week's show, we're working on something new for NPR Plus supporters.

They're pulling me out of mothballs to answer some of your car questions.

So if you have a car question, you'd like to ask me, I'll give you a number and you can call in a moment.

And just like the old days, our extremely lazy producers will eventually listen to the messages, pick a few callers for me, we'll set up a time to talk, and I'll screw up the answers, just like the old days.

NPR Plus supporters will find these occasional, and I do me in occasional episodes in their NPR Plus car talk feed.

So if you have a car question, here's the number.

It's 888-522-5478.

That's 888-522-5478.

Now, here's the show.

Thank you. the show.

That's what it is.

Someone named Gregory Engel sent us state mottos for license plates.
