Public Radio Exchange Site Launches

TheSync writes "The Public Radio Exchange web site has opened its doors. Radio show producers can sign up to upload programming for peer-review and electronic distribution to public radio stations that like the content. Avid listeners can sign up (for free) to listen and review potential programming. PRX just received a $1.5 million grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and they are looking for a summer intern in Boston."

      So you decide to use such "unbiased" sources as Eric Alterman and "workingforchange.com" to refute the media bias accusations?

      Someone please mod this up as funny.

    Funny ;-)

    Am I the only one that sees something wrong with donation and tax-subsidized radio being locked up in these sorts of formats?

    No! For God's sake boy! What are you thinking?! Just because you pay for it either directly or indirectly doesn't mean you should have free access to the content.

    Remember, that would be communist.

    I wonder why it took so long for this to be posted.

    You must be new here.

    PS: don't worry about the lack of attention, now that you're in the collective mind of the /. audience, expect a duplicate of this story in a few days. That should make up for it

    From their site:

    Will introduce you to the high-powered, creatively satisfying, poorly compensated world of public radio. May compensate you. May also not compensate you. Will provide you with an immediate list of marginally interesting things to do, a list that will grow exponentially more interesting as we discover how competent you are. Will offer exposure to people who are famous, or at least as famous as you can be if you got famous by being on public radio.

    Subsitute /public radio/ with /your job here/

    Hey, at least they're honest.

    [] i like crappy, teenybopper-14-yr-old songs.

    [] i like to hear the 400000 times a day....

    [] i LOVE shitty radio commercials that run all day long...

    the list goes on from there.....shut up and don't listen, don't give and get lost.

    Just so you guys know I'm libertarian, because I think you guys thought I was a conservative.

    So, from now on, reply accordingly. Because assuming makes an ass out of u and ming.
