PRX Sees All
Hi friend of PRX,
First of all, PRX is not in favor of pat-downs. But our trusty technology does keep an eye on what you are doing on PRX. And that’s how we can make some cool recommendations for you based on your, um, behavior.
If you look on any piece page, we show you some related pieces based on your choices. We also reveal what pieces most stations licensed after the one you selected (just look on the lower-right sidebar). We think this is a very cool way to help you find even more good stuff on PRX.
From a story about a family living on a beach, to a former GM employee looking to downsize his life, to a teenager weighing options for after high school, this documentary explores how people are finding the strength that gets them through economic hard times by presenting personal stories alongside contextual interviews and reports.
