PRX at 30,000 Feet

Hi friend of PRX,

Coffee, soft drinks, nuts...or PRX? With Internet access coming soon to some major airlines, some day you'll be able to pass on the cheesy in-flight movie and listen to the best public radio on (or above) the planet.

Imagine, you'll be able to hear top flight bluegrass, mind bending Radio Lab and the wise sarcasm of Ian Shoales -- and rate those shows -- as you skirt above the clouds.

Buckle up,
-John
