Hi friend of PRX,

This is National Chocolate Day. Why today? Ask the National Confectioners Association. It’ll do until National Chocolate-Covered Anything Day arrives on Dec. 16th. PRX.org might as well be chocolate, we’re so addictive: try us once and you’ll be back nibbling even more radio. And the upcoming new PRX 3.0 site? Darker, richer, with more nuts.

Celebrate,

John
