Lots of people refer to the 'golden age' of public radio. On PRX you can experience the golden age of yore..and the new one emerging, all at once.
In the 1980s listeners loved the rapid-fire of Ian Shoales and the dim-wit logic of Dr. Science. The brilliant oddballs from Duck's Breath Mystery Theater are back and now available in five, one-hour specials perfect for holiday schedules. If you remember hearing some of these bits in the 80s and 90s it's a blast to hear them again.
The new golden age is a click away: new musician profiles from WXPN; the timelessness of Bob and Ray; smart documentaries and the distinctiveness of Jake Warga for Halloween. Hit the PRX homepage. Search for gold. You'll find it on PRX.
Boo,
-John
