PRX Gets Infected

Hi friend of PRX,

You know the symptoms: shivers, your mouth hangs open and then the rest of the world fades away.

Yes, when you hear a great radio story the reaction can be almost physical — radio like these brief mysteries from Tom Lopez and ZBS, The Memory Palace, and even the world of Frank Zappa.

Viral is a good thing,
John

Fall Fundraising 
Recommendations from Curator Jody Evans

KUT Fundy ID – David Garza
KUT | 00:00:42
“KUT has produced a series of listener testimonials which give their membership drive a greater sense of community with different voices…These are short and to the point and bring home the value of public radio and KUT to the Austin community.” – Jody Evans

Shrink Wrapped Public Radio Pledge Spot
WNYC Radio | 00:00:51
“This is a great spot from WNYC that could easily be duplicated in any market. It breaks down the service a listener gets from the station every day and compares it to other daily necessities.” – Jody Evans

Jody has created a playlist of more great ideas for National Fundraising Week, Oct 17-23. And, a more extensive list of ready-to-air and sample pieces is available at our Fundraising Soundbank.

He’ll Always Get the Last Word In
Salt Institute for Documentary Studies | 00:05:31
“Paul DiMatteo is the last in a long line of gravestone carvers…The feel is intimate. It would fit nicely in a magazine segment, paired with something related or standing on its own.” – News Curator Naomi Starobin, WSHU
