Audio excursions from the early eighties: Four traveling stories from public radio's past, hosted by the independent producers who made them, Scott Carrier attends a native service of "Navajo Pentacostalists." The Kitchen Sisters ride with the "Road Ranger," an American auto-mechanic hero. John Rieger samples small-town life "Fifty Miles Out of Gerlach." And Larry Massett takes a nitrous-oxide fueled "Trip To the Dentist." (53:00)
There's way too much audio in the world to catch everything that comes out of your clock radio. Public Radio Redux shines a spotlight on stories that makes you turn and look at your speakers. It's a curated list, a place to make comments, and a blog about making radio. Consider it the espresso in your daily public radio fix.
Public Radio Redux was started by two friends who bonded over the joys and pain of making radio. Jen Nathan and Erin Mishkin met at the Salt Institute of Documentary Studies and quickly bonded over a shared love of podcasts and bloody marys. Rather than boring their friends with another unrehearsed live re-enactment of their favorite radio shows, they started this blog.
