PRX Rides Investment Trend
Hi friend of PRX,
Like a lot of American companies, PRX is proud to reveal its received a full tank of fresh funding from new overseas partners. "We're really pumped!" said PRX's Jake Shapiro during a call from Riyadh. Some of you might notice minor changes to PRX, but the fact is you'll always know where our loyalty lies. Our special investors said they were especially interested in radio pieces like these: the future of oil; visiting Hidden Kitchens in Texas; and uncertainty in the solar energy business.
It's a gusher!
-John
