Find it. Hear it. Air it.

A colleague commented this week that public radio people meet at
conferences more than any other business. It must be the hotel coffee
that keeps us coming back. But if you're a producer at a station or out
on your own, the Third Coast Festival is worth attending. It
inspires and gets your creative juices going.
The initial Third Coast Award winners have been announced and we have
some of these pieces up for you to enjoy...and broadcast. You'll see
some familiar voices -- Richman and Isay, for example -- but producers
you have probably never heard of before, too.
Talent. It's out there. Enjoy!
-John
