Find it. Hear it. Air it.

Many stations wish we had a regular show that highlights the best of what's on PRX. Jay Allison and his crew are among the producers doing just that. The Transom Radio Hour shows off some of the best radio producers and pieces and pulls back the curtain on radio craft, revealing why the best producers do what they do. In fact that's the subject of his latest show. Jay has five TRH's up now---try 'em!

A heads-up to all producers: please go through your pieces on PRX and check for language issues. Not just George Carlin's seven words you can't say on radio, but other sensitive language that can cause a station manager to spill something. Go into 'edit pieces' and write a big notice, plus click the box for a language advisory.

Thanks,

-John
