PRX is a Radio Locavore
Hi friend of PRX,
Locavore has just been named the word of the year. What makes sense to foodies resonates with PRX because we believe in producing locally and listening globally. A local story to you might feel just as relevant to listeners in dozens of other cities and towns. Locavore listening...a harvest of sound! We hand-picked these:
One woman takes up a locavore challenge. Hear from documentary filmmakers featured on PBS's P.O.V. And, Broadway is closed, but LA Theatre Works is open on PRX.
Is this ripe?
-John
