Who says public radio doesn’t pay?

David Green of Third Grade Audio recently wrote to share news of windfall profits this quarter. Thanks to a KVMR license of “Questions for Martin Luther King, Jr.” his third grade producers found themselves in the black with earnings of $1.20. And being a fair and kind boss, David distributed the profits equally among all contributors: one nickel each.
Below, Chicago-area Third Graders from North Shore Country Day School – creators of such PRX classics as “Loose Tooth” and “Stuffed Animals 3” – pose with their profits.

| We should add that David is not only kind, but fastidious. He wrote, “So, for accuracy’s sake, each of my students will get 4.3¢, or one Czech Koruna, which is worth that much at current exchange rates. Since I can’t get my hands on any Koruny, my co-teacher, Amy Kenyon, and I have each generously added 10¢ of our own to the pot, thus bringing payment for each third grader up to a nickel.” Isn’t it great when management cuts you a deal? |

Wow, that is fantastic. You get to be part of a fun learning project AND you got to be paid. You guys are so lucky!

By far the cutest thing PRX has ever had a hand in… Don’t spend it all in one place!

Kudos to Mr. Green, the third grade and NPR! What a great piece – and just enough motivation to keep the kids working hard.
Keep up the great work, we look forward to seeing what future third-graders will produce under Mr. Green’s gifted supervision.
