Calling All Producers
The Nature Stories Podcast -- a collaboration between the Nature Conservancy, Atlantic Public Media and PRX -- is looking for content.

Each week we feature a piece that captures the intersection between people and place - with a heavy dose of nature. We like pieces that don't sound like the usual fare. We tend toward sound rich stories and away from news and commentary. We like pieces that are personal. Pieces should be between 4 and 30 minutes long.

If you post something that you think fits the bill, write to sbroun@transom.org and we'll give it a listen. Oh, and of it gets selected you get paid $75. Ain't nature grand?

Plan Ahead
