PRX Ponders Twinkie

Hi friend of PRX,

Bankrupt? Say it ain’t so, Twinkie! Times are tough for the sweet concoction that almost never goes stale.

Rising prices for the ingredients, at least the ones we know of, are being blamed in part for a possible second bankruptcy filing by Twinkie’s owners.

PRX, by contrast, is always fresh. Our ingredients are updated constantly — lots of new radio pieces show up daily. And, almost all of them are nutritious. Plus, we show you what’s inside every piece before you buy.

Ring Ding!
-John


Moyers is Back

Bill Moyers is back, this time on public radio with a new weekly program available free to PRX member stations.

Just in time for the election year and starting Jan. 13, the first hour-long programs will probe the reasons for financial inequality in America.

Also new: America’s Test Kitchen Radio.
