What will become of PBS? The Public Broadcasting Service is cultural fixture that has been operating in the United States for 55 years. It is a commercial free service with more than 300 member stations and is known for iconic programs like Sesame Street, NOVA, Frontline, the PBS News Hour, Washington Week, and Mr. Rogers Neighbourhood to name a few. This rare platform for rare independent voices, and high quality documentaries is under fire.

It has been funded, at least in part, by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting but the Trump administration is cutting that funding to PBS and NPR, National Public Radio.

So what does that mean for those beloved programs and services? Veteran broadcast executive Ed Hersh tells us what PBS really is, how it works, and what these cuts mean not only for its survival, but for voices independent of corporate backing.

Are you getting the news you need to know or the news you'll watch or read? Is it really skewed to the negative? Who makes that decision anyway? On The Brothers In Media three former assignment editors explain how stories are picked for you to consume. Patrick Ho of the Toronto Star is our special guest.

Sports is one of the last places people with major disagreements can come together. But, is sports media really journalism? And if it isn't, what separates it from the thousand of podcasts and blogs on the internet. Multiple Emmy Award winner Trevor Thompson, a fixture in the Detroit sports market for 25 years, joins the Bros Who Know to give us the inside scoop.
