PRX SOTU OK!
Hi friend of PRX,
PRX told the nation last night that it is facing no mortgage crisis, no wars and no tax issues! We work with foreign friends like the CBC's Vinyl Cafe and the BBC across the pond. PRX is showing a healthy surplus of new pieces. PRX's producers are open--to both criticism and praise. And PRX welcomes even the youngest citizens into the public radio fold.
Wish we were up for re-election,
-John
