"PBS or Bust" Campaign Launches to Restore Federal Funding for Public Broadcasting

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - Sept. 23, 2025 - PRLog -- Gigsplained, a new media project focused on explaining complex issues through engaging content, today announced the launch of its most ambitious initiative yet: "PBS or Bust." This nationwide campaign aims to travel from state to state to raise grassroots support and donations for local PBS stations and advocate for the restoration of federal funding for public broadcasting.

The "PBS or Bust" tour will be documented as a travelogue, with content published on the Gigsplained YouTube channel. The project will culminate in a one-hour documentary that will explore the challenges facing public media, dispel common misconceptions, and explain how the public broadcasting system works. The documentary aims to educate a new generation on the vital role of public media in a thriving society.

"This is about more than just a road trip," said Josh Tordsen the project's creator. "It's about empowering people to support a cause that provides invaluable educational and cultural content to communities across the country. By reaching audiences beyond public broadcasting's traditional base, we hope to build a powerful movement to secure the future of public media."

The campaign's mission is to demonstrate broad, popular support for public broadcasting, highlighting its importance in local communities and its role in providing essential news, educational programming, and cultural enrichment.
