Eric Nuzum, NPR's director of programming and acquisitions: the 2nd of 14 interviews conducted at the annual PRPD conference -- on ThoughtCast! Read the full description.

Enuzum_small Eric Nuzum is NPR's refreshing, colorful director of programming and acquisitions. We spoke in an exceedingly noisy room, so this interview is short and ... loud. But it's a treat to hear his thoughts on the 'upheaval' in public broadcasting. He thinks it's just the 'natural progression of things.' And listen to his thoughts on what public radio must do if it is to attract new listeners.
