Which candidate is playing the race card in the presidential election? That story tops today's podcast, plus we get the science behind 'source amnesia,' and we tune in to the golden age of country music with Dana Jennings, author of the new book, "Sing Me Back Home: Love, Death and Country Music." Also, we revisit our 2006 conversation with Steve Pomfret about his book "Chinese Lessons: Five Classmates and the Story of New China."
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.
