PRX Named UN Ambassador
 
 

Listen to the latest, now.

Hi friend of PRX,

PRX is all about diplomacy. We have a firm handshake and know how to bend like the palm tree, not snap like an oak under pressure. Plus, we're open to all comers: from the holiday pieces from PRI and Radio Netherlands to the new works from indy Jesse Thorn and Virtuoso Voices.

A big tip of the top hat to new producer Mira Burt-Wintonick, a recent Third Coast winner who thoughtfully shares her approach to radio (and video) in a profile this week.

Debate the quality of pieces with your own reviews and ratings. We won't veto your point of view.

--John
