PRX Thinks Small

Hi friend of PRX,

Oooooo…the Mac iPad Mini. Small thing, high value, just like the thousands of short pieces on PRX.

How about the (tons of) free beloved StoryCorps segments? Or the quickie Science Updates (each 60-seconds)? While you’re at it, grab short Gems of Bluegrass, one of our most popular features. A thousand points of listening…

Tiny,
-John
