PRX: When the skies fall…
|
Hi friend of PRX,
It isn’t just Russian meteors that humble us. You know what it’s like: you need a quick story to fill out a program, or a special for this weekend, or an affordable limited series or maybe a new weekly show that you can’t find anywhere else. And you need it NOW.
No need to be a Chicken Little. PRX has tens of thousands of choices: you can find weekly shows and limited series on this page — from bluegrass to The Moth, music programs and much more. Try Advanced Search to filter by length, topics and more.
PRX — we’ve got you covered when the universe goes crazy.
-John
