PRX: Cooling Off
Hi friend of PRX,
Most of the country is an oven today. If you’re chilling in front of the A/C or a fan, check out a couple cool things from PRX: first, get the awesome iPhone app for public radio station WBUR in Boston. It is free, it is LOADED with good listening and we think it’s a model for station apps going forward. Then crank up Sound Opinions, the only rock-and-roll talk show on public radio. We’ve posted their cool podcasts so you can get a flavor.
Sound Opinions Little bit ‘a rock, little bit ‘a talk
Sound Opinions from PRX and Chicago Public Radio
Public radio’s only rock-and-roll talk show is now exclusively in the hands of—you know it! PRX. Hosts Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot delve into the music of legends like Michael Jackson and The Clash, introduce you to their favorite indie bands and still have time to hit up the newest in pop and hip-hop too.
Put Sound Opinions on your station! Come ‘n’ get it from PRX or have it delivered from Content Depot. Here’s how.
