PRX Now with Bigger Muscles

PRX Now with Bigger Muscles

Hi friend of PRX,

PRX feels like it is on steroids going into 2008. Not real steroids -- you won't find us in the Mitchell Report. More stations licensed more PRX pieces than ever before last year. PRX is also part of the just-announced Public Media Election Collaboration -- PRX has a couple of job openings for this project. You can see some of PRX's initial steps in our Campaign '08 audio collection.

Our new News and Music Format Curators are busy bubbling up good pieces for stations. And we keep discovering great radio like this: how the US and race are looked at in Asia; long distance love for Valentine's Day; and self medicate with Dr. Duck's Guitar Prescription!

Pump it up,
-John
