PRX Solves Holiday Ennui

Hi friend of PRX,

We know the feeling. Lost in the mall. Alone. Too many choices. Even a monkey shouldn’t be treated like this. PRX knows…that’s why we have holiday playlists, great stuff for Hanukkah, all sorts of radio pieces that will bring a smile back to your furry little face.

What?
