YouTube contains millions of music videos, oddball comic sketches, and TV clips. It also contains free music lessons for aspiring amateurs. We talk to Andrew Furmanczyk, a pianist whose YouTube channel gives free piano lessons, and Elizabeth Wolff, a pianist who offers in-person lessons, about the advantages and disadvantages of learning an instrument without a teacher present.
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.
