Hey there, before we start the show, I need to ask a favor.

It's a tough time for a lot of people right now, and MBR is here every day with the news,

whenever you're ready to hear it.

In fact, some of our stations have even canceled their fundraising drives to make sure you

can get the latest news you need to keep safe and informed.

But those fundraising drives are the main source of money for many stations, and I was

hoping that our listeners might be able to help them fill the gap.

Having local stations helps us make the MBR Politics podcast.

So if you're able, please head to donate.npr.org slash politics to give what you can.

Thanks.

Hi, this is Rachel from Minneapolis, Minnesota.

I've been working from home for the past three weeks and decided that now is the perfect

time to foster a dog.

Well, I just finished signing the paperwork on my first foster failure and third dog moose.

This podcast was recorded at 2.16 PM.

On Wednesday, the 8th of April.

Things might have changed by the time you hear this, but also be a total foster failure

and that crazy dog lady.

Okay, here's the show.

So just to clarify, that is a very good thing that means she is not fostering the dog.

She is keeping the pooch, but she didn't say what kind of dog it is, which is always the

most important question.
