PRX ♥ Listening

Hi friend of PRX,

We might be an eyeball culture, but give us a set of headphones and some good audio any day. A new Kitchen Sisters special? We love it. A new angle on race relations? We’re all ears. A voice and story that pulls us in? Count us in. Share the love. Share your audio. On PRX.

Hey Valentine!
-John

A Radio Valentine

Get your audience a nice V-Day gift

This is sweet: A childhood crush requited in adulthood.
Got your eye on someone? A French love ballad should help.

Life is short. Love the one you’re with.
A story of a first love and the many other firsts that came along with it — heartbreak and all.
Love beyond romance: be kind to strangers, and they won’t forget it.

International Interest

New and global

Utterly fascinating: Chinese citizens on how China’s one-child policy affects them. From Jennifer Dunn for PRX’s Global Story Project:

Many girls and women are undocumented residents of their own country, and can’t legally marry or have their own children.
Couples find loopholes to try again for a boy, like hiring a man to pretend to marry and be the new father.
Bachelors in poorer areas of China, where there are larger gender imbalances, are struggling with the lack of women.

And, the latest local-global perspective from Latitude News: A short history of US pot policy and how it compares with Mexico.
