Public Radio Exchange

PRX has a way
To make programming right
Curated lists and prompts like this
Make your duties light.
Listen, click, download, run
We’re open day and night!

Jingle bells, a piece from hell
Going all the way!
Radio about everything
Even jazz and civil rights

Radio abounds
Through PRX’s site
Eskimos and do si dos
There’s sound that is just right
Kitchen Sis, economists
Stories in the night.

Pieces sell, if they sound well
Every single day
PRX is glad you’re here
More in the new year!

Happy holidays!
-The PRX Elves

The King at 75
Jan. 2010 would have been Elvis’ 75th birthday

Need a post-holiday programming idea? Browse and listen to all of Joyride Media’s fabulous one-hour Elvis specials with their Elvis Playlist. The specials include music, interviews and rare footage, and cover his beginnings to his 1968 comeback and beyond.

(Psst! You too can create a playlist of your station’s work or of pieces you want to air!)
