We can honestly say that 'after months in the making,' NPR's Next Generation is launching on PRX--in a big way: almost 50 pieces and a lot more coming. Generation PRX highlights youth radio works from around the country. Next Generation is sort of the next step: showcasing college-age producers mentored by Doug Mitchell at NPR and select stations. If you want to let your audience know what the next generation of public radio sounds like, play a few of these.
This week PRX is bubbling up Africa coverage from World Vision Radio; cutting edge audio that has debuted on podcasts and PRX (be brave!); and summertime radio.
No sweat!
-John
