Hate to be that guy, but this is misinformation at this current point in time. As much as it *does* suck that NPR and PBS are getting their federal funding pulled, tiny desk hasn’t gone away (yet). There have been 3 new ones in the past week…

They still exist and if you want them to continue producing content until whenever we can get a real president again, you should consider donating money to NPR or PBS or your local public media affiliate! It’s tax deductible, you could get the classic mug or tote bag to show your friends and coworkers that you’re not an asshole, and if you donate $5/per month you usually get access to all their streaming content.
my mistake ,I’ve been informed that it’s not shutting down 👏🏿

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down. It’s a separate entity from PBS and NPR. They’re both losing some funding that was received from CPB, but they aren’t shutting down themselves (yet), and hopefully they never will.

It would be nice if billionaires were actually philanthropic and just funded PBS to run on YT.
