John Oliver Showcases Public Media on Season Finale
In Case You Missed It…
The season finale of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver included a sharp, funny, and heartfelt tribute to public media - especially the kind of small-town stations that keep communities connected (like KHEN). He also launched an auction running through November 24 to support at-risk public media organizations through the Public Media Bridge Fund. Worth a watch.
